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

ABOUT THE OPERATION MODES
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.
See the sample application below.
To set the operation mode to Access Point, please go to “Wireless JBasic
Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select AP mode.
WDS Repeater Mode
Refer to the illustration below. While acting as Bridges, AP1 (with Station 1 being
associated to) and AP2 (with Station 2 being associated) can communicate with
each other through wireless interface (with WDS). Thus Station 1 can communicate
with Station 2 and both Station 1 and Station 2 are able to access the Internet if only
AP1 or AP2 has the Internet connection.
6
To set the operation mode to Bridge, please go to “Wireless JBasic Settings”, in
the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select AP mode. And go to “Wireless
JWDS Settings” to enable WDS.
Note:
To act as Bridge, both AP1 and AP2 must have WDS enabled and add each
other as its WDS Access Point. (e.g. Add AP2’s MAC address to AP1’s “WDS
AP List” and vice versa)
Client Mode (Infrastructure)
If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station
when it’s connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired
end to wireless interface.
Refer to the illustration below. This station (AP1 plus the connected computer 1) can
associate to another Access Point (AP2), and then can have the Internet access if the other
Access Point (AP2) has the Internet connection.
7
To set the operation mode to Client (Infrastructure), please go to “Wireless
JBasic Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select Client mode,
and then select “Network Type” as “Infrastructure”.
Client Mode (Ad-hoc)
If set to the Client (Ad-hoc) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it
is connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to
wireless interface. You can share files and printers between wireless stations (PC
and laptop with wireless network adapter installed).
See the sample application below.
To set the operation mode to Client (Ad-hoc), please go to “Wireless JBasic
Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select Client mode, and
then select Network Type as “Ad-hoc”.
8
WDS Bridge Mode
The WDS (Wireless Distributed System) function let this access point acts as a
wireless LAN access point and repeater at the same time. Users can use this feature
to build up a large wireless network in a large space like airports, hotels and
schools …etc. This feature is also useful when users want to bridge networks
between buildings where it is impossible to deploy network cable connections
between these buildings.
