Chapter-2 Installation

2.1 Hardware Installation

1. Place the Wireless LAN Broadband Router to the best optimum transmission location. The best transmission location for your WLAN Broadband Router is usually at the geographic center of your wireless network, with line of sign to all of your mobile stations.
2. Connect the WAN port on the router to a Cable/DSL modem, Ethernet Server, or hub.
3. Connect one or more client PCs to the LAN port(s).
4. Connect the power adapter to the wall outlet and the power jack on the router.
5. Turn your PCs on.
10

2.2 Preparing the Networking

This chapter covers the things that need to be done before configuring the router. The first thing is to set all computers on the network for TCP/IP networking and also gather necessary information from the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

2.3 Collecting ISP Information

The following information needs to be gathered from the ISP before configuring the router:
․IP Assignment from ISP: Are IPs assigned dynamically or you have a fixed IP address? If fixed,
what are the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway as well as the DNS addresses for this account?
․Connection Type: Is this a PPPoE or PPTP connection? If PPPoE, what are the username and
password associated with this account? If PPTP, the server IP address as well as user authentication information is required.
Please contact your ISP if you’re not sure of the answers to these questions.

2.4 Configuring Windows for IP Networking

Each computer on the network and connecting to the router should be configured for TCP/IP networking. The router is by default a DHCP server and if you plan to use DHCP (recommended). Each computer must be configured to receive an IP address automatically. See the procedure below. If fixed IP addresses are to be used on the network, you’ll need to manually assign an IP address to each computer and make sure that they are in the same subnet as the router. Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions on IP assignment.
To configure TCP/IP in Windows:
Configuring Windows 98 and millennium PCs
1. Click the Start button go to Settings and click on Control Panel. In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
2. Under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP line for the applicable Ethernet adapter. Do not choose a TCP/IP entry whose name mentions DUN, PPPoE, VPN, or AOL. If the word TCP/IP appears by itself, select that line. Click the Properties button.
11
3. Click the IP Address tab. Select Obtain an IP address automatically.
4. Now click the Gateway tab, and verify that the Installed Gateways field is Blank. Click the OK button.
5. Click the OK button again. Windows may ask for original Windows installation CD or additional files. Check for the files at c:\windows\options\cabs, or insert your Windows CD-ROM into the CDROM drive and enter the correct file location, e.g., D:\win98, D:\win9x, etc. ( “D” is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive).
6. Windows may ask to restart the PC. Click the Yes button. If Windows does not prompt to restart, restart the computer anyway.
12
Configuring Windows 2000 PCs
1. Click the Start button go to Settings and click on Control Panel. In Control Panel, double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon.
2. Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Ethernet adapter (usually it is the
first Local Area Connection listed). Double-click the Local Area Connection and Click the Properties button.
3. Make sure the box next to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click the Properties button.
13
4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click the OK button. Click the OK button again to complete the PC configuration.
5. Restart your computer.
14
Configuring Windows XP PCs
The following instructions assume you are running Windows XP with the default interface (Control Panel looks different then previous versions of Windows). If you are using the Classic View (where icons and menus look similar to previous Windows versions), please follow the instructions for Windows 2000.
1. Click the Start button and then the Control Panel icon. Click the Network and Internet Connections icon. Then click the Network Connections icon.
2. Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Ethernet adapter (usually it is the first Local Area Connection listed). Double-click the Local Area Connection and click the Properties button.
3. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click the Properties button.
15
4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click OK. Click the OK button again to complete the PC configuration.

network type as “infrastructure” or “Ad-hoc”.
SSID: The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, therefore, all wireless
access points/routers and all wireless devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters
Channel Number: The number of channels supported depends on the region this
Wireless-G Router is used in. All stations communicating with this Wireless-G Router must use the same channel. (Note: not supported in client mode)
Enable Mac clone: when operating mode is “Client” and only one Ethernet client
exists, users can enable the Mac clone feature to easily connect to the wireless station.
