1 Introduction to Nokia MW1122
Nokia MW1122 is an integrated ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) bridge and router which enables high-speed Internet access from your wireless (WLAN) and Ethernet local area networks (LAN). It multiplies the capacity of the already installed telephone lines used traditionally for telephone and dial-up modem services. MW1122 brings high-speed connections available for home users, small offices and telecommuters.

2 Installing MW1122
Before you install MW1122 you may want to familiarise yourself with the interfaces and indicator lights of MW1122. From section 2.3 you will find a step-by-step installation procedure, which shows the physical installation of MW1122.
2.1 Interfaces
MW1122 has one ADSL line interface and two LAN interfaces: WLAN and ETH (wireless LAN and 10Base-T Ethernet). It also has a local management interface (CLI) for management purposes. The ADSL line interface is compatible with ITU-T G.992.1 specification. The wireless LAN port interface supports Nokia’s 11 Mbit/s IEEE
802.11b WLAN PC Card.

2.3 Step-by-step installation procedure
1. Plug the mains power cord to a mains outlet.
2. Plug the antenna into the antenna connector of the wireless LAN card, if included.
3. Insert the wireless LAN card, if included, gently into the MW1122 WLAN slot on the MW1122 back panel. Ensure that the card is aligned correctly.
4. Switch on MW1122. The PWR indicator lights up.
5. Ensure that wireless LAN clients (that is, the wireless devices you want to use in your network) have the same configuration as the wireless LAN card in the MW1122 modem and that they are in the Infrastructure mode. The default wireless LAN configuration of MW1122 is the following:
regulatory-domain according to your location of use (Europe,
Canada, USA, or Japan)
network name MW -wxyz (case-sensitive), where wxyz are
the last four numbers from your MW1122 serial number
When you have set the network name to your wireless client, the wireless connection is established and the WLAN indicator on MW1122 fron panel will be lit.
6. Connect the 8-pin Ethernet cable between your PC and the Ethernet connector on the MW1122 back panel if you want use a PC equipped with a 10Base-T Ethernet card. Switch on your PC. The ETH indicator will be lit.

7. Connect the 6-pin ADSL line cable between the ADSL connector on the MW1122 back panel and your ADSL line wall socket. If you want to use telephone and data services simultaneously connect a splitter according to Figure 4. After a while, the DSL indicator starts blinking indicating that the ADSL connection is being established. After the connection has been established successfully the DSL indicator remains lit.

Now, your MW1122 has been connected and you can check the connections according to your service providers instructions.
3 Configuring MW1122
Your service provider has configured your MW1122 for the service. However, you may want to change the settings regarding your wireless network. Y ou will find these settings on the W ireless LAN and WLAN Clients web pages. Do not change other settings unless specifically asked by your service provider. You can change MW1122 settings with an ordinary web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator .
If the WLAN indicator is lit on the MW1 122 front panel, you can use your WLAN client for configuration. Of course, you can also use a PC

connected to the ETH port of MW1122. In this case the ETH indicator should be lit.
3.1 Browser management
You can use your PCs web browser software to access the web configuration pages in MW1122. To access the web pages you must know the IP address of your MW1122 or, alternatively , the “name” that your MW1122 recognises.
Note
Before using your web browser for configuration, you must know the IP address or the name assigned to your MW1122.
There are three ways to find out whether to use a name or an IP address:
D Your service provider has given you an IP address for MW1122. D Your MW1122 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and Domain Name Server. In this case the name is MW1122.
D Your MW1122 uses DHCP. In this case run winipcfg.exe
(Windows 95) or ipconfig.exe (W indows NT). The IP address of MW1122 is the Default Gateway address shown by the ipconfig program.
3.1.1 Opening a connection
To open a connection to the Nokia MW1122:
1. Start your web browser .
2. Enter the name (’MW1122) or IP address of your Nokia MW1122 in the browser’s Location or Address field and press Enter.
3. Type in the username/password as requested. If no username/password is required, just click OK to proceed. The Nokia MW1122 Main Page appears.

The Main Page shows you the statuses of the DSL line, Ethernet interface, and wireless LAN interface. It also shows the number of wireless LAN clients on your network, wireless LAN network name and the channel in use. Software and hardware versions and the serial number of MW1122 are shown in the bottom of the page.
3.1.3 Wireless LAN page
You can change wireless LAN network settings on the Wireless LAN page.

Note
When you click the Apply button, the WLAN subsystem will be reseted automatically . If you have changed the network name and you are accessing MW1122 through the wireless connection, the wireless link will be disconnected. Y ou must reconfigure the network name to your wireless LAN client to continue configuration. The Reload button restores the settings if you have not saved the configuration yet.
Network name identifies your network and must be the same in all wireless LAN clients on your network. The default network name is MW-wxyz (case-sensitive), where wxyz are the last four numbers from your MW1122 serial number.

3.1.4 WLAN Clients page
On the WLAN Clients page you can enable access control based on the MAC addresses of your wireless LAN clients. When access control is enabled, only the wireless stations on the Client table are allowed access to your wireless network. On this page, you can also activate Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and set the encryption key parameters. Note, that unless you have encryption enabled other WLAN clients nearby have the possibility of monitoring the traffic on your wireless network

Enabling access control
You can add a wireless station to the Client table by typing its MAC address to the MAC address field and clicking the Add new button. Use

lower case characters only when typing the MAC address. You must identify the wireless station by filling the Name field. Activate the Client table by selecting Client table MAC address from the Admission method pull-down list and clicking the Apply button. Click Remove button if you want to remove a client from the Client table.
Encrypting wireless connection
If you want to activate WEP, you have two options:
D Use a fixed default key for all stations. There are four default keys
available and the key is selected by clicking the corresponding radio button. Typically , there is no need to use any other key than number 1.
D Use a separate station-specific key. Enter this key in the Client
table Wep key field.
Before you type the encryption key, select the key length from the pull-down list. A vailable lengths are 40 bits and 128 bits. If you select a 40-bit key, you must enter a key with 10 characters. If you select a 128-bit key, you must enter a key with 32 characters. The key is a hexadecimal string, so the available characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, a, b, c, d, e, and f.
Note
Remember to configure the same key to your wireless client. If you use your wireless client for web configuration, you can copy the key from the Key field and paste it to the wireless LAN client software. Then you can click the Apply to activate encryption. Note, that if you enable encryption on either client or MW1 122 only, the wireless link will be disconnected until you have enabled encryption on both devices.
There are five security modes which can be chosen from Encryption mode pull-down list:
D No encryption; In this mode, encryption is always disabled. If a
station tries shared-key authentication, a failed authentication will result.
D Allowed; In this mode, a station may use either open-key or
shared-key authentication. If a station uses open-key authentication, encryption is disabled. If a station uses shared-key authentication, encryption is used.
