2. Using the EZ Installation Wizard
The installation method makes the process as simple as possible.
1.Connect the SMCWTK-G to a PC using the Cat-5 Ethernet Cable.
2.Plug in the 4V power supply or use the supplied USB cable to plug into an available USB port on the PC.
3.Insert the EZ Installation Wizard and Documentation CD.
4. Select “Install Utility”.
5. The Scan/Configuration Utility is now installed. Go to “Start”, then “Programs”, select “SMC 802.11g Wireless Traveler’s Kit”, and then “SMC 802.11g Wireless Traveler’s Kit Configuration Utility” to start the SMCWTK-G Scan/Configuration Utility Program.
6. The Scan/Configuration automatically scans for SMCWTK-G on the network.
7. Highlight the SMCWTK-G that you would like to configure and click “Configure”. If your PC has the same IP address subnet range as the SMCWTK-G, then the login screen will appear. Enter the username and password. The default IP address of the SMCWTK-G is 192.168.2.25. The username is “admin” and the password is “smcadmin”. Skip to Step 10.
8. Make sure the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.xxx subnet, such as 192.168.2.30. If not, the IP window will appear, as shown below. From this window, set the static IP address of the PC to be in the same subnet as the SMCWTK-G, e.g. 192.168.2.30. Set the “Subnet Mask” to be “255.255.255.0”. Default Gateway is usually the IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.2.1. Click OK. Your PC may require a reboot after changing the IP address. Click “Yes” to reboot PC if prompted.
9. From Scan/Configuration Utility, select the SMCWTK-G that you would like to configure and click “Configure”. You will be asked to enter the username and password to configure the SMCWTK-G. By default, the username is “admin” and the password is “smcadmin”. Enter this information and click OK.
10. The default mode of SMCWTK-G is Access Point (AP) mode. To switch to Client, Repeater, Point-to-Point Bridging (P2P), or Point-to-Multipoint Bridging (PMP) mode, go to the Mode Page and select the desired mode. Click Apply.
11. Then go to the Mode page and click Setup. Configure the applicable properties for that mode, such as the SSID, Channel, and Security.
12. The SMCWTK-G is now ready to use.
3.Operating Modes
3.1Introduction to Operating Modes
3.1.1 Traveler’s AP Mode
The Access Point (AP) mode is by default the out-of-box operational mode. When the user resets the system to the default manufacturing settings, the operational mode also reverts to AP mode. In the AP mode, the system functions as a standard AP, where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other wireless clients or to the wired network. For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high speed internet access, the user can connect to the Internet through the AP which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room.
Note that the SMCWTK-G AP does not act as a DHCP server. In other words, it does not supply dynamic IP addresses and instead relies on the network to supply them.
