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 HWABN2 access point and your computers and other network devices:
1. Connect your HWABN2 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.
13
2‐2DefinitionsoftheDifferentModes
The HWABN2 supports 5 different Modes:
Access Point: Standard default mode. The HWABN2 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 HWABN2 will allow you connect wired
devices wirelessly to an existing wireless router or access point. It will “bridge”
these 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 HWABN2.
14
AP Bridge – Point to Point: Similar to station-infrastructure, this requires two
HWABN2’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 HWABN2’s to one point. No WiFi signal will be broadcast
and it will only make a wireless connection between the HWABN2s.
15
AP Bridge WDS: Wireless Distributing System. This allows you to create a wireless
network using up to four HWABN2’s using the same SSID (wireless name). It will
broadcast a WiFI signal.
