1. Introduction
The Hawking WA739P can be configured in one of two ways:
Wireless Access Point with 3-Port Wireless Print Server or 3-Port
Wireless Print Server
A) Wireless Access Point w/ 3-Port Wireless
Print Server
This Hawking WA739P Wireless Access Point with built-in 3-Port
Wireless Print Server is designed to connect your Wireless LAN to
your wired network. With built in 3-Port Wireless Print Server
parallel ports, you can share the printers among wireless and wired
users. The WA739P is compliant with IEEE 802.11b standard and
can work with a multi-vendor Wireless LAN platform.
The Hawking WA739P Wireless Access Point with 3-Port Wireless
Print Server delivers network speeds up to 11Mbps, five times
faster than previous wireless LAN products. Using dynamic rate
shifting to create a reliable connection, each Access Point supports
up to 32 simultaneous users at a distance of up to 1000ft (300m) for
outdoor use and 328ft(100m) for indoor use. It also features Wires
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) -compliant data encryption using
64/128-bit encryption keys, MAC Address Control and user
authentication to ensure a secure network connection.
The Hawking WA739P can automatically identify the IP address
and subnet when it is connected to an Ethernet LAN. It will
automatically obtain an IP Address from DHCP Servers and forward
additional IP address to clients in Wireless LANs. The WA739P can
be remotely managed via web browser.
B) 3-Port Wireless Printer Server
The Hawking WA739P 11M Wireless 3-Port Wireless Print Server is
a powerful and the most convenient way to connect and share your
4 - 1
Internet Printer Connection and HP Web JetAdmin
printer to a network Cable-Free. It provides high-speed Wireless
data transmission up to 11M, so that you are ensured high
performance when communicating with any computer within your
LAN. The WA739P also supports multiple servers and multiple
protocols, which will allow you to print from anywhere, from any
computer and from any application.
The WA739P not only gives network users greater flexibility, but
also reduces file server load. This enhances both printing
performance as well as overall network performance. You can
place your printer anywhere you want at your Home/Office and
send print jobs from the wired or wireless network. There is no need
to place your printer right next to the workstation or file server.
Managing your WA739P is simple. The built-in Web Management
feature will allow you to configure, monitor the status of and even
reset the WA739P from anywhere. Furthermore, the WA739P
supports the most popular network protocols such as Microsoft
NetBEUI, Novell IPX/SPX, Macintosh AppleTalk, TCP/IP, IPP which
will allow you to connect the WA739P to any platform such as
Windows 95/98/2000/ME, XP, NT, NetWare, UNIX, LINUX and
Macintosh network.
The external Wireless Print Servers enhance company capability by
letting you place your printers, plotters, or equality printers at
convenient locations directly on the Ethernet network, and by
increasing network printer performance and management.
Network Management
The Wireless Print Servers support the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), which remote printer management
and a warning. A standard SNMP agent is permanent on these
Wireless Print Servers. Any standard SNMP-based application can
be used to access and manage this Wireless Print Server.

Planning Your Network
Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways: Ad-Hoc and
Infrastructure Network. The WA739P has built in an Access Point. It
should be configured as Infrastructure network or Wireless Client
Print Server.
Infrastructure Wireless LANs
Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it
includes an access point. Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the
LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the access
point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization.
Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing w ireless users to take advantage
of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and
printer sharing. Multiple access points can provide wireless coverage for an
entire building or campus.
Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc
networking:
Extended range:
access point can communicate with other wireless LAN computers within
range of the access point.
Roaming:
through a building and still be connected to the LAN.
Wired to wireless LAN connectivity:
between wireless LANs and their wired counterparts.
the access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move
each wireless LAN computer within the range of the
the access point bridges the gap
Microcells and Roaming
Wireless communication is limited by how far signals carry for given
power output. WLANs use cells, called microcells, similar to the cellular
telephone system to extend the range of wireless connectivity. At any point
in time, a mobile PC equipped with a WLAN adapter is associated with a
single access point and its microcell, or area of coverage. Individual
microcells overlap to allow continuous communication within wired network.
They handle low-power signals and “hand off” users as they roam through a
given geographic area.
A Group of Wireless nodes and Access Point compose a Basic
Service Set (BSS). A unique ID in a BSS is essential. All wireless nodes
configured without roaming options in a BSS must be configured with the
4 - 6
Internet Printer Connection and HP Web JetAdmin
BSS ID and the same radio channel. More than one BSS can be configured
as an Extended Service Set (ESS). It allows users to roam freely within an
ESS. All wireless nodes within one ESS must be configured with the same
ESS ID and use the same radio channel
Tips on wireless LAN configuration
When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following
points:
• Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the
distance between access points is not too far. In most
buildings, WLAN cards operate within a range of 100 ~ 300
feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls.
• Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal.
If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be
that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install
another access point to circumvent this problem.
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts
•
that interfere with WLAN transmission.
