DW-1100 Access Point User’s Guide -1-
Introduction The DW-1100 (IEEE 802.11b compatible 11 Mbps WLAN Access Point) is a long-range, high performance LAN product, which provides Access Point services to a 2.4 GHz RF network and bridges to an Ethernet backbone. DW-1100 is a highly integrated Access Point designed to combine legacy LANs with wireless LANs. DW-1100 performs all the necessary inter-networking and bridging functions.
AP Configuration The DW-1100 AP configuration can be done through the Ethernet port either by using the SNMP Manager application or through the USB port by using the AP Utility Application. In order to configure the DW-1100 AP through the Ethernet Port/Wireless Port, you must first install the SNMP Manager application, which is a powerful and reliable tool used for the remote configuration of the Access Point through the Ethernet Port/Wireless Port.
DW-1000 Wireless Network Found (version 1.4) Figure 2 Access Point Found 5. In case of an unsuccessful connection you receive the following message (Figure 3): Figure 3 Access Point Not Found 6. If the above error message appears, you need to check if the AP is connected to the network. Configuring the AP using SNMP 1.
Figure 4 SNMP Bridge menu and submenus " Bridge - Under the “Bridge” submenu, the only option is: # IP Configuration: By choosing this option the window appears. The “IP Address” and “IP Mask” can be modified through “IP Configuration”. If changes are made, you need to “Download Changes” under the “File” menu in order to save them. Please refer to Table 1 and Figure 5 Parameters Description Ethernet Address The MAC Address of the Access Point.
Figure 5 Bridge IP Configuration window " Wireless LAN - Under this submenu there are the following two options available. # Privacy Options - By choosing this option you must define the encryption key values of your choice. There are four 5 Hex digit encryption keys available. The key is enabled only if you select it in the “Default key” option. Enable the WEP option in order to activate WEP encryption for transmissions between the station sand the Access Point.
Figure 7 Wireless Privacy Options window # Operational Settings - Using this option, you can either view or modify the Wireless LAN parameters of the Access Point (Figure 4-10). These parameters are described below: ESSID It is an ASCII string up to 32 characters and it is used to identify a WLAN that prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. The ESSID value must be the same in all stations and Access point in the extended WLAN. Select the ESSID to be used.
! shared key encryption identified by the Access Point are allowed to associate with it. Both: with this setting, stations communicate with the Access Point either with or without data encryption. Preamble Type (Short/Long) Preamble is the first sub-field of PPDU, which is the appropriate frame format for transmission to PHY (Physical layer). There are two options, Short Preamble and Long Preamble. The Short Preamble option improves throughput performance.
! ! ! ! ! the sender Station's successful association with the Wireless Bridge. Trap Disassociation: This trap message is sent when a disassociation notification packet is received from a Station. Trap Reset: This trap message is sent when the AP-Bridge resets. Trap Setting IP Address with Ping: This trap message is sent when the AP-Bridge IP address is set with the transmission of a ping message. Trap Start Up: This trap message is sent when Bridge starts up.
