host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.

• Network Address Translation (NAT) –For small office

environments, the WA1003A-RU allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.

NA T improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

• TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The WA1003A-RU supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.

• RIP-1/RIP-2 – The WA1003A-RU supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both versions lets the WA1003A-RU to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.

• Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).

• Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the destination address is

Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Before You Start

Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new WA1003A-RU. Have all the necessary information and equipment on hand before beginning the installation.

2.1.1 Installation Overview

The procedure to install the WA1003A-RU can be described in general terms in the following steps:

1. Gather information and equipment needed to install the device. Before you begin the actual installation make sure you have all the necessary information and equipment.

2. Install the hardware, that is, connect the cables (Ethernet and telephone) to the device and connect the power adapter.

3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the web-based software built into the WA1003A-RU.

4. Use the web-based management software to configure the device to suit the requirements of your ADSL account.

2.1.2 Installation Requirements

In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be

necessary to provide information to the WA1003A-RU that will be

2-1

Page 16

User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation

stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the WA1003A-RU. If it is nece ssary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private.

Low Pass Filters

Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter de vice can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The WA1003A-RU uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser sof tware, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Web Browser

Any common web browser can be used to configure the WA1003A-RU using the web configuration management software.

The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user securit y packages) that may be running on your computer.

Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)

Any computer that uses the WA1003A-RU must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the WA1003A-RU. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the WA1003A-RU. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

802.11b Wireless LAN Configuration

All the 802.11b wireless LAN settings may be configured on a single page using the web-based manager. For basic wireless communication you need to decide what channel to use and what SSID to assign. These two settings must be the same for any wireless workstations or other wireless access point that communi cate with the WA1003A-RU through the wireless interface.

2-3

Page 18

User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation

Security for wireless communication can be accomplished in a number of ways. The WA1003A-RU supports WEP encryption,

802.1X authentication, and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). Wireless access can also be controlled by selecting MAC addresses that are allowed to associate with the device. Please read the section on Wireless Configuration.

Additional Software

It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional sof tware must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the WA1003A-RU itself.

If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or CLIP (IPoA) connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored i n the WA1003A -RU. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection.

All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP addre ss. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such a s a PC, a server, a gate way device such as a router o r similar firewall ha rdware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to Obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as DHCP clients.)

It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL connection in the future.

Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your WA1003A-RU.

2.2 Choosing Installation Location

The WA1003A-RU functions on three sepa rate networks: a wired Ethernet LAN, a wireless LAN and a wired ADSL WAN. Placement of the WA1003A-RU must take into account the fact that it is connected to these three networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the WA1003A-RU to com puters and network d evices a nd the

2-8

Page 23

User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation

ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC wall outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is often not a complicated matter. However, the added dimension of wireless communication does complicate the decision of WA1003A-RU placement.

Many environmental factors can affect the effective wireless function of the WA1003A-RU. If this is your first time setting up a wireless network device, read and consider the points listed below.

The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.

Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, Wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the number of walls, ceilings, or other obj ects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. To range and signal strength, use these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum: The signal emitted from Wireless LAN devices can penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall or ceili ng can reduce the range of Wireless LAN devices from 1 to 30M. Position your wireless devices so that the number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is minimized.

2. Consider the direct line between access points and workstations: A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it is over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position access points

2-9

Page 24

User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation

and client adapters so the signal can travel straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference: Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce ef fective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel.

4. Position the antennas for best reception. Play around with the antenna position to see if signal strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow the user to judge th e strength of the signal.

5. Keep your product away (at least 1-2 meters) from

electrical devices:

Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that generate RF noise such as microwave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc.

2.3 Installing USB Driver

You should install the USB driver into your PC before using USB connection. To install the USB driver, you must execute “WA1003A-RUDriver.exe” contained on the CD-ROM, which is provided with the modem. During the installation, it doesn’t need any interference from your side.

If you are using Windows XP/2000, a new “Local Area Connection” will then be built for USB port.

Chapter 3 Configuring

The first time you setup the WA1003A-RU it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the WA1003A-RU are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you may continue to make changes to WA1003A-RU configuration including IP settings and DHCP setu p. This chapter i s conce rned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection and describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the WA1003A-RU including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.

3.1 WAN Configuration Summary

1. Connect to the WA1003A-RU To configure the WAN connection used by the WA1003A-RU it is first necessary to communicate with the WA1003A-RU thro ugh its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to “see” the WA1003A-RU. Your computer can see the WA1003A-RU if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the WA1003A-RU. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the WA1003A-RU. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the WA1003A-RU. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.

2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you can proceed to chang e the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN co nnection.

3.2 Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the WA1003A-RU it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the WA1003A-RU. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can co nfigure the system to receive IP settings from the WA1003A-RU.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP

address from the WA1003A-RU, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

 Note:

If you are using this WA1003A-RU to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers. However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own IP address that is unique on the local network.
