Introduction The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT provides the most expanded user bandwidth available in an AP. Wireless clients can connect to this AP using any of its channels to transfer data at speeds never achievable before in a wireless device. The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT operates seamlessly and simultaneously in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrums supporting the 802.11b and the newer, faster 802.11g wireless standards. For offices, schools or public hotspots that already use 802.
Connections n Straight-Through cable is required when connecting to a router or switch n Cross-Over cable is required when connecting directly to an Ethernet adapter on a computer Features & Benefits n Up to 54 Mbps - Means you can transfer large files up to 5 times more quickly than was previously possible without signal interference n 802.11b and 802.11g Compliant - Means you can mix devices from different standards without sacrificing connectivity n Better Security with WPA - Other 802.
LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT has 3 Green LEDs as shown below: LED LED Activity Power A steady light indicates a connection to a power source LAN (10/100) A steady light indicates a connection to the Ethernet port; a blinking light indicates activity WLAN A blinking light indicates activity in the respective wireless mode: 802.11b or 802.11g (802.11b or 802.
Wireless Basics 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is based on industry standards to provide easy-to use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
Wireless Basics (continued) n The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is compatible with the IEEE802.11g wireless products: 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers n 802.11g Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers Standards-Based Technology The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT utilizes the 802.11b and 802.11g standards. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band. 802.11g utilize OFDM technology.
Wireless Basics (continued) Installation Considerations Desktop and laptop computers with wireless network adapters installed can access the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
Getting Started Right out of the box, with its default settings, the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT will automatically connect with other wireless products IP ADDRESS Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup you will not need to assign a static IP Address.
For a typical wireless setup (as shown above,) please do the following: 1. You will need a broadband Internet access (Cable/DSL) subscription 2. Consult with your Cable/DSL provider for proper installation of the modem 3. Connect the modem to an Ethernet broadband router. 4. Connect the router to the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT. 5. If you are connecting a desktop computer in your network, you can install any 11g compliant wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot. 6.
Using the Web Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your network or the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT, you can access the Configuration Menu by opening the web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced Setup>Access Point>Configuration>IP Address This window displays the default settings of the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT. Get IP From: Choose Manual or Auto. If you select Manual you will manually input the IP Address. If you select Auto the DHCP server on your network will automatically assign an IP Address. IP Address: The default IP Address is 10.0.0.1. Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is 255.0.0.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced Setup>Access Point>Configuration>Device Information: Clicking on the “Device Information”menu will bring out the above menu. It allows you to modify for the AP System Name and System Contact information. Just type in your new information on whiteout fields, and click on “Apply”button to save the information.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Wireless Band: Select the 802.11b or 802.11g. SSID: (Service Set Identifier) “ default” is the default setting for 802.11g. The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced Setting> Access Point>Configuration>WLAN partition WLAN Partition is used to allow/disallow traffic among users or transmission media. Wireless Band: For 11g only AP, there is only IEEE802.11g selection for the field. Internal Station Connection: When “Enabled” , every WLAN station connected to the Access Point can see each other through PING, FTP, TELNET or Network Neighborhood Search. Otherwise, any station probing will be cut off.
