HARDWARE CONNECTION

Note: Before you starting hardware connection, you are advised to find an appropriate location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for the Access Point is at the center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all your wireless stations. Also, remember to adjust the antenna; usually the higher the antenna is placed, the better will be the performance.

1. Connect to your local area network: connect a Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet port (LAN1 or LAN2) of this Wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch, router, or another wireless access point.
2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the Wireless Access Point's power port and the other end to a wall outlet.

Check the LEDs:

The Power and LAN # LEDs should be ON. LAN# LED will even blink if there is traffic.

The Link/Act LED will be on in static when associated with a station and blink whenever this AP receives data packets in the air.

If the Status LED glows after self-test, it means this Wireless Access Point fails on self test. Please ask your dealer for technical support.

1. Configure your PC: Make sure your local PC(s) has wireless network adapter installed.

This device provides four operational applications with Access Point, Bridge, Client (Ad-hoc) and Client (Infrastructure) modes, which are mutually exclusive.

This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.

Access Point Mode

When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only the Access Point has the Internet connection.

All stations communicating with the Access Point must use the same channel.
□Enable Mac Clone(Single Ethernet Client)	If your ISP restricts service to PCs only, use the MAC Clone feature to copy a PC MediaAccess Control (MAC) address to your router. This procedure will cause the router to appearas a single PC, while allowing online access to multiple computers on your network.

Apply Changes Press to save the new settings on the screen.
Reset	Press to discard the data you have entered since last time you press Apply Change.

Advanced Settings

It is not recommended that settings in this page to be changed unless advanced users want to change to meet their wireless environment for optimal performance

Authentication Type	To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods, Open System and Shared Key. With Open System authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not encrypted. With Shared Key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. By default, IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System network.Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption is used when the wireless devices are configured to operate in Shared Key authentication mode.If the Access Point is usingOpen System, then the wireless adapter will need to be set to the same authentication mode.Shared Keyis used when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.SelectAutofor the network adapter to select the Authentication mode automatically depending on the Access Point Authenticationmode.
Fragment Threshold Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If your 802.11g Wireless LAN PC Card often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.
RTS Threshold	RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the "Hidden Node" problem. "Hidden Node" is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other. When a station starts data transmission with the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations.Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a suspect "hidden station", this station and its Access Point will use a Request to Send (RTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access Point, informing that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond with a CTS message to all station within its range to notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also confirm the requestor station that the Access Point has reserved it for the time-frame of the requested transmission.If the "Hidden Node" problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set. The default value is 2347.Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
Beacon Interval	Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions.Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).
Data Rate	By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default setting is Auto which is the best choice. When Auto is enabled the transmission rate will select the optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are present, the system will automatically fall back to a lower rate.
Preamble Type A preamble	ble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a "noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type should be set to Long Preamble. The Short Preamble is intended for applications where minimum overhead and maximum performance is desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the performance will be decreased.
Broadcast SSID	Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to detect the SSID of this Access Point.
IAPP	IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the enforcement of unique association throughout a ESS (Extended Service Set) and a secure exchange of station's security context between current access point (AP) and new AP during handoff period.
802.11g Protection	The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operation. If there is no such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of standards may mutually interfere and decrease network's performance.

Reset	Press to discard the data you have entered since last time you press Apply Change.

Security

Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different method will enable you to have different level of security. Please note that by using any encryption, by which data packet is encrypted before transmission to prevent data packets from being eavesdropped by unrelated people, there may be a significant degradation of the data throughput on the wireless link.

Encryption: None (Encryption is set to None by default.)

If Use 802.1x Authentication is selected, the RADIUS Server will proceed to check the 802.1x Authentication.

Encryption: WEP

If WEP is selected, users will have to Set WEP keys either manually, or select to Use 802.1x Authentication to make the RADIUS server to issue the WEP key dynamically.

Make sure the same password is used on client's end.There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, i.e.Passphrase and Hex. If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended.
Group Key Life Time	Enter the number of seconds that will elapse before the group keychange automatically. The default is 86400 seconds.
