[. . . ] 1. 0. 1-0804 Safety FCC WARNING This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. [. . . ] With the power source on, once the device is connected, the Power, LAN and WLAN port LEDs will light up indicating a normal status. If the LAN Port's Link indicator does not light up then check the RJ-45 cable if it is firmly feed to the RJ-45 port, while the LAN is link up to the Switch/Hub, the LAN port's LED will light up. 5 4. Configuring the Wireless LAN Access Point The Wireless Access Point has a Web GUI interface for the configuration. A network manager can manage, control and monitor the AP from the local LAN. This section indicates how to configure the AP to enable its functions. Login to the Wireless AP through WLAN Before configuring the Wireless AP through WLAN, make sure that the SSID, Channel and the WEP was set properly. The default setting of the Wireless AP that you will use: SSID: default Channel: 6 Wireless Encryption: disable IP address: 192. 168. 0. 254 Login Before you configure this device, note that when the AP is configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same the IP network. For example, when the default network address of the default IP address of the AP is 192. 168. 0. 254, then the manager PC should be set at 192. 168. 0. x (where x is a number between 2 and 253), and the default subnet mask is 255. 255. 255. 0. Enter IP address http://192. 168. 0. 254 (the factory-default IP address setting) to the address location. When there is a screen needs to enter the User name and Password, default Username is "admin" and Password is "password" 6 Main Screen of the Access Point The screen will show the status of the AP when you login to the AP. There are seven main functions included in the top side of the main screen: Wizard, Status, Basic Setting, IP Setting, Advanced Setting, Security and Tools. Point the selections in the top side of the menu screen. 7 Wizard Setup wizard is provided as the part of the web configuration utility. User can select the channel range from 1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain, 1 to 13 for European (ETSI) domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain. SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network. Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to Open system. There are six options: Open system; Shared Key; WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA and WPA2. User may want to set to Shared Key when the clients and AP in the same wireless network enable the encryption. All the nodes and hosts on the network must use the same authentication type. WEP Key: To disable WEP security, click on the "Disable" option. To enable WEP security, there are 2 types to select ­ 64bits and 128 bits. When it is selected, the key value must be entered in ASCII or HEX format. Note: When the WEP security is enabled, all the wireless clients that wish to connect to the Access Point must also have WEP enabled with the identical WEP Key value entered. 13 WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected, user needs to set the key in the passphrase field as the below screen. The key length should be 8 characters at least. WPA / WPA2: If WPA or WPA2 is selected, the below screen is shown. [. . . ] DHCP Server: It is not recommended to enable the DHCP Server if user has a DHCP server running in LAN network because it probably will cause possible the conflict of IP assignment. Enable the DHCP server function by selecting the option "On", and enter the IP range. Click "Apply" for the changes to be effective 26 Advanced Setting This page contains configurations for advanced users, which the change reflects the wireless performance and operating modes. Beacon Interval: To set the period of time in milliseconds that AP sends out a beacon. Fragmentation Threshold: To set the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.
