2.4.5. Step 4: Reviewing and Applying Settings

Fig. 8: Settings changes are highlighted in red

On the start page, you can review all the settings you have made. Changes are highlighted in red. If

they are OK, click Restart to restart the IEEE 802.11b/g for the new settings to take effect.

NOTE: About 7 seconds are needed for the IEEE 802.11b/g to complete its restart process.

2.5. Deploying the IEEE 802.11b/g

After the settings have been configured, deploy the IEEE 802.11b/g to the field application environ-

ment. Connect the IEEE 802.11b/g to an Ethernet LAN through an Ethernet switch/hub.

If you are configuring a pair of the IEEE 802.11b/g’s for a dynamic or static bridging application and

external high-gain directional antennas are used, it’s difficult to adjust alignments of the antennas

when the pair of devices is distance away.

To adjust the alignments of a pair of bridges’ directional antennas:

1. Connect each bridge to a computer via Ethernet.

2. Configure the date rate of each bridge to the lowest value, 1Mbps.

3. Fix the alignment of the antenna on one side.

4. Adjust the alignment of the antenna on other side by using response time information obtained

from PINGing (run PING.exe) the “fixed-side” computer.
