Quick Setup
2.1 Connecting The Access Point
1. Connect one end of the power adapter to the power
jack of the AP and the other end of the power adapter
to an electrical outlet. The PWR LED illuminates
steady green.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN por
of the AP and the other end of the Ethernet cable to
the Ethernet port of the computer-equipped with an
Ethernet adapter, a cable/DSL router, Ethernet switch
or hub. The LAN LED illuminates steady green
2.2 Configuring Ethernet Adapter Setting
The initial configuration of the access point must be done through Ethernet port and you have to
assign an IP address for your computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter first. Please follow the
following steps to obtain an IP address.
Note: The following screenshots a re taken in Windows 2000. For other OS, the configuration
procedure will be exactly the same but the screenshots will vary.
1. Right-click mouse button on the My Neighborhood icon on your Windows desktop and select
Properties from the short-cut menu.
2. Right-click the Local Area Connection for the Ethernet Adapter equipped on your computer
and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
3. Click the General tab of the Location Area Connection dialog box, select Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. In the General tab, click the radio button of Use the following IP address. For example, in the
IP address field, enter in the following IP address: 192.168.0.12.
Note: The default IP address of the Access Point is 192.168.0.10 so the IP address for the
Ethernet Adapter must follow the 192.168.0.x IP address format and the IP should not be the same
IP address assigned to any other devices in the network. (Do not use these reserved IP addresses:
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.10)
5. Under Subnet mask, input the following IP address: 255.255.255.0.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog box.
2.3 Configuring The Access Point – Basic
Settings
1. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.10 in the Address field.
2. When the login screen shows up, type “admin” in the User Name field and “p assword” in the
Password filed. Please note that the user name and password are case sensitive.
3. Click OK and the configuration home page shows up.
The homepage lists default settings and related info of the access point. You may click
menus listed on the left pane to start configure the AP. Click the LOGOOUT button on the left
pane will close the Configuration WEB page. Click REBOOT button to reboot the AP.
4. Basic Setup menu: The basic setup menu comprises three sub-menu: DHCP, Wireless and
Encryption.
In the DHCP item, if your network doesn’t provide DHCP function, you have to assign
an IP address for the AP.
In the Wireless item, you can change the SSID/ESSID. Please note that the SSID on
the wireless network adapters must be the same in order to communicate with the AP.
The Encryption item allows you to select one type of encryption to protect your data.
Please note that if the Encryption is enabled, then the encryption on the wireless
Ethernet adapters must be enabled and the WEP keys should be the same as the AP.
This utility supports both Hexadecimal and ASCII key formats. Click the drop-down
menu to choose one format. Only digits 0-9 and letters A-F are valid entries if you
select hexadecimal format.
Note: Please click Apply button to make your configuration tak e effect.
5. Advanced Setup Menu: If you want to modify advanced features, you can click the
Advanced Setup menu -> Advanced.
6. Management Menu: The Management Menu comprises four items: System Name,
Password, Firmware and Profile items. You can rename the AP’s name, change the login
password, update firmware and create different profiles for future use.
Please refer to the following chapters for more details on using the Configuration Utility.
2.4 Application Scenario
Simple Wireless Access Point
In this application, the access point provides access for wireless stations to wired LANs and from
wired LANs to wireless stations. The wireless stations within the range of the access point may
communicate with each other via the access point. Please make sure that the IP address of the
computer with network cards should follow the same IP address format of the AP and the SSID
and the encryption keys should be the same as the AP.
Simple Wireless Access Point
Connecting The Access Point To A cable/DSL router, Ethernet switch or
hub
Steps:
1. Select a suitable site for the access point.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between the access point and your cable/DSL router’s LAN port,
Ethernet switch, or hub by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ45 jack on the access
point and the other end into an open RJ45 jack on the cable/DSL router, Ethernet switch, or
hub.
