IV-1. Conguring your IP address

Before you use this access point, you may need to modify the IP address of your PC or Macintosh. The procedure for doing so varies across dierent operang systems; please follow the appropriate guide:

• IV-1-1. Windows XP
• IV-1-2. Windows Vista
• IV-1-3. Windows 7
• IV-1-4. Windows 8
• IV-1-5. Mac OS

This is since the access point's default IP address 192.168.2.1 may not be in the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you are unable to access the browser based conguraon interface. In order to access the browser based conguraon interface, your computer's IP must be 192.168.2.x where x is a number in the range 1-254, meaning the access point's default IP address is in the same IP address subnet of your network. So if it isn't already, then you need to modify the IP address of your computer to 192.168.2.10.

Aer you access the browser based conguraon interface, you can change the IP address of the access point as shown in III-8-2. Management IP, to one that is within the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you will not have to modify the IP address of your computer again in future when you wish to access the browser based conguraon interface.

Note: Please ensure that your access point is switched on and connected to your computer via Ethernet cable before you begin.

IV-3. Troubleshoong

If you are experiencing problems with your access point, please refer to this troublesomeong guide before contacting your dealer of purchase for help.

Scenario	Soluon
My access point can’t locate a wireless access point/wireless device when using the “Site Survey” funcon.	a. Click “Rescan” several more mes and see if the wireless access point/device appears.b. Adjust the posion of the access point, or move closer to a known wireless access point.c. If the SSID of the access point you wish to connect to is hidden (nothing displayed in the “SSID” eld in the “Site Survey” function), then you need to input the SSID manually. Ensure that you input the correct SSID.
My access point can’t establish a connecon with a parcular wireless access point.	a. Click “Connect” several more mes and see if you can establish a connecon.b. Ensure that you input the correct passphrase/security key if connecng to an access point with encrypon.c. It is possible that the access point you wish to connect to only allows network cards with specic MAC address’s to establish connecons. Request that the owner/administrator of the access point add your MAC address to the list.
I can’t log onto the browser-based conguraon interface: the access point is not responding.	a. Make sure access point is powered on. Check the LED on the front panel. If the LED is out, then check the USB connecon.b. Use your wireless device connects to this access point wirelessly.c. Make sure you are using the correct IP address.d. If you are using a MAC or IP address lter, try to connect the access point to another computer.e. Set your computer to obtain an IP address automacally (DHCP), and see if your computer can obtain an IP address.f. If you are experiencing problems aer a rmware upgrade, please contact your dealer of purchase for help.
I can’t locate the access point with my wirelessclient.	a. Check if “Broadcast ESSID” (in the “Wireless Advanced” secon of the browser-basedconguraon interface) is “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If “Disabled” you need to input the ESSID into your wireless client manually.b. Try moving closer to the access point
File transfers are slow or frequently interrupted.	a. Try to move closer to where the wireless access point is located.b. Try again later. Your local network may be experiencing technical dicules or very high usage.c. Change channel number.
I can’t log onto the browser-based conguraon interface: incorrect password.	a. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the “Caps Lock” light is not illuminated.b. If you do not know your password, restore the device to factory sengs.
The access point is extremely hot.	a. It is normal for the access point to heat up during frequent use. If you can safely place your hand on the access point, the temperature of the device is at a normal level.b. If you smell burning or see smoke coming from access point or A/C power adapter, then disconnect the access point and A/C power adapter immediately, as far as it is safely possible to do so. Call your dealer of purchase for help.

IV-4. Glossary

Default Gateway (Access point): Every non-access point IP device needs to congregate a default gateway's IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the desnaon is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the desnaon.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Conguraon Protocol. This protocol automacally gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the

computers on your home network is the locaon of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that aer there is no trac to the Internet for a pre-congured amount of me, the conncon will automacally be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that idenes a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 porons: the IP network address, and the host idener.

The IP address is a 32-bit binary paern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1. A network mask is also a 32-bit binary paern, and consists of consecutive leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as 1111111.1111111.1111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.

For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000 It means the device's network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and ecient method for access points to route IP packets to their desnaon.

ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for denion). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet access point located at the ISP's oce.

ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizaons.

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an oce). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique idener for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are open used as the product's serial number.

NAT: Network Address Translaon. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access point's NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to disnguish one network applicaon/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applicaons and protocol/port numbers:

Applicaon	Protocol	Port Number
Telnet	TCP	23
FTP	TCP	21
SMTP	TCP	25
POP3	TCP	110
H.323	TCP	1720
SNMP	UCP	161
SNMP Trap	UDP	162
HTTP	TCP	80
PPTP	TCP	1723
PC Anywhere	TCP	5631
PC Anywhere	UDP	5632

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data transmission method originally created for dial-up connexons; PPPoE is for Ethernet connexons. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communicaons protocol for transming informaon over Ethernet between dierent manufacturers

Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interacon agreed upon between mulple pares

so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretaon of their behavior is well dened and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.

Access point: A access point is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between dierent networks based on network layer address informaon such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP informaon provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) congured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a parcular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detecon and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. dierent buildings, cies, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microso Internet Explorer to Control/congure or monitor the device being managed.
