Chapter II: System and Network Setup
2-1 Build Network Connection
Please follow the following instructions to build the network connection between y our
new HD45B access point and your computers and other network devices:
1. Connect your HD45B to the network port of your computer or connect wirelessly
to it.
2. Connect all your computers and network devices (network-enabled consumer
devices other than computers, like game console, or switch / hub) to the network.
3. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, and then connect it to the
‘Power’ socket of the access point.
4. Please check all LEDs on the front panel. ‘PWR’ LED should be steadily on, LAN
LEDs should be on if the device is connected to the network. If PWR LED is not
on, or any LED you expected is not on, please recheck the cabling, or jump to ‘5-2
Trouble shooting’ for possible reasons and solutions.

2‐2DefinitionsofDualBandandHD45BSupportedModes
2.4GHz vs 5GHz
The HD45B supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
2.4GHz is the most commonly used wireless bandwidth. It also has a very narrow
range of channels, usually between 1-11. Common household devices such as
microwaves and cordless phones also use the 2.4GHz bandwidth, and can cause
interference with your wireless network. As a result of its heavy usage and narrow
range of channels, the speed and range of typical WiFi devices can be negatively
affected.
5GHz solves this problem by providing a faster, less congested, bandwidth with a
wider range of available channels.
Modes
The HD45 supports 5 different modes.
Access Point: Standard default mode. The HD45B will broadcast a WiFi signal for
other computers and devices to connect to. Must be plugged into the router or
network after setup.
Station – Infrastructure (Bridge): The HD45B will allow you connect wired devices
wirelessly to an existing wireless router or access point. It will “bridge” these
14
devices wirelessly with your network. It will not broadcast any WiFi signal. It will
only make a wireless connection between the Access Point and the HD45B. The
HD45B will only connect to either 2.4GHz or a 5GHz network.
AP Bridge – Point to Point: Similar to station-infrastructure, this requires two
HD45B’s on each end. This will create a wireless bridge between these two points.
No WiFi signal will be broadcast and it will only make a wireless connection between
those two points.
AP Bridge – Point to Multi-Point: Similar to AP Bridge – Point to Point, this allows
you to connect several HD45B’s to one point. No WiFi signal will be broadcast and
it will only make a wireless connection between the HD45Bs.
15
AP Bridge WDS: Wireless Distributing System. This allows you to create a wireless
network using up to four HD45B’s using the same SSID (wireless name). It will
broadcast a WiFI signal.
16
2-3 Connecting to the HD45B via Web Browser
After the network connection is built, the next step you should do is setup the access
point with proper network parameters, so it can work properly in your network
environment.
