How to create a wired network using Ethernet cables

The Ethernet ports will adapt automatically to the connected cable type. This means you can use either type of Ethernet cable, straight-through or crossover, provided it is Category 5 or higher quality.The four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g will automatically negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage
the Wireless Base Station 11g. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors.

How to create a wireless network

For an example, see the chapter on "How to set-up a computer network"' at the end of this manual.
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals. Philips currently offers several wireless network adapters, including the Philips Wireless USB Adapter and the Philips Wireless Notebook Adapter.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Base Station 11g to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position antennas along
ENGLISH12
different axes; for example around 45 to 90 degrees apart.Try to place the Wireless Base Station 11g in a position that is located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the Wireless Base Station’s location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office.
Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless Local Network by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless Base Station 11g can provide access to your wired/wireless Local Network or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired Local Network infrastructure or over the Internet via the Wireless Base Station 11g.
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired Local Network, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless Base Station 11g.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure:
Making the Wireless Local Network Connections
