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

3.1 Introduction 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.
