Hardware Description Ethernet Compatibility: SMCs EZ Connect Wireless Bridge can attach directly to 10BaseT (Twisted Pair) Ethernet LAN segments. The Bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the Wireless infrastructure. Radio Characteristics: The Wireless Bridge uses a radio modulation technique known as Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum transmission (DSSS, CSMA/CA). It operates in the 2. 4 GHz license-free Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. [. . . ] This time the web browser page will appear as follows:: 6. Enter the password WLAN_BRIDGE and click Login. This will take you to the home page. 7. Click on Bridge Information MIB, Bridge Control MIB, TCP/IP Settings, or Change Password to select the page required. The Bridge Information MIB screen displays the categories of information shown above. In the Bridge Control MIB page, set the parameters and then click on Apply Changes to implement the settings. (Default: Bridge Master) DS Channel - Set the channel number as the operating radio channel. Note: The availiable channel settings are displayed to the right of the DS Channel field. SSID - This should be set to the same value as other wireless devices in your network. (Default: BRIDGE) Note: The SSID is upper/lower case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. RTS Threshold - Set the RTS Threshold to the same as that used by other devices in your network. (Default: 2, 305, which means Disabled) Encryption - Click Encryption icon to configure WEP. WEP - For more secure data transmission, set the WEP to WEP_128 or WEP_64 to ensure wireless network security. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this device to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. The WEP setting must be the same on each client in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled) Key Entry - This field can be set to Passphrase or Manual Entry. Using a Passphrase will auto-generate the key elements with the internal algorithm according to the string defined in the Passphrase field. The Manual Entry setting allows the user to manually enter key elements. Passphrase - The security key for WEP encryption is generated from your Passphrase string, so it must be the same as all the other stations in your network. All wireless devices must have the same Key ID element values to communicate. Default Key ID - Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string you prefer. All wireless devices must have the same Key ID element values to communicate. The TCP/IP settings page allows you to review and change the network settings on the Wireless Bridge. With DHCP ON, the IP address and subnet mask are dynamically assigned to the Wireless Bridge by the network DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server on the network, you can either set them manually, or use a temporary IP address any time you need to configure it. Then enter a new IP address and subnet mask in the New Settings section of the TCP/IP Settings screen. When finished, click on Apply Changes. In the Change Password screen you may change the password on the Wireless Bridge. We suggest changing your password from the default value to ensure network security. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND PLANNING SMCs EZ Connect Wireless Solution supports a standalone wireless network configuration as well as an integrated configuration with 10Mbps Ethernet LANs. The SMC wireless network cards, adapters, Access Point and Wireless Bridge can be configured as: Ad hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs Infrastructure for enterprise LANs Infrastructure for inter-building LANs Network Topologies Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no AP or Bridge) An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio channel. [. . . ] If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from the one to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. CSA Statement (Canada) This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of Industry Canada. Le présent appareil numérique német pas de bruits radio-électriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dens le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par lIndustrie. CE Mark Declaration of Conformance This is to certify that this product complies with ISO/IEC Guide 22 and EN45014. [. . . ]
