Antenna
Notice that you connect tightly the External dipole antenna on the antenna
connector of your station adapter. A loosen antenna will reduce the radiant
energy or even lose it. In order to improve the RF signal radiation of your
antenna, proper antenna placement is necessary. We recommend you
mount the antenna attached to access point in the position that can be best
covered by its BSS. Try to place the antenna as high as possible to increase
the coverage area. If you have further question, please contact your wireless
network administrator.
Default
Press the “default” button for about 3 seconds until the LEDs go off. This
action will restore to the factory default settings of the wireless station
adapter and enable you to configure the station adapter via web again.
Besides, this is also used when you forget the password.

Connecting One Ethernet-Device (as Station)
The station can be implemented on allowing only one client to access the
wireless network using MAC clone functionality. To connect with one client,
follow these steps:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to the Station Adapter and the
other to the Ethernet-enabled device.
2. Connect the power adapter to station adapter’s power jack. The power
and the Ethernet status should light up.
3. Turn on the Ethernet-enabled device. When the station adapter is
associated to the Wireless AP and Wireless LAN traffic activity, you will
see the wireless LAN status lights up.
Connecting Multiple Ethernet-Devices (as Bridge)
The station can be implemented on allowing multi-clients to join a network.
When connecting to the wireless station adapter, the client who first begins
to send packet can associate with the access point that responds to the first
client’s request for connection based on MAC clone functionality. And the
others use the MAC address of the first client to join a wireless network. To
connect with multi-clients, follow these steps:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to the Station Adapter and the
other to the hub.
2. Connect the Ethernet Cable between Ethernet-enable devices and the
hub.
6
3. Connect the power adapter to station adapter’s power jack. The power
and the Ethernet light should light up.
4. Connect the power adapter to the hub.
5. Turn on all Ethernet-enable devices. When the station is associated to the
Wireless AP and Wireless LAN traffic activity, you will see the wireless LAN
status lights up.
Note1: A hub could connect with up to 8 Ethernet-devices. However, it
would reduce the transmission rate if connected with too many units. (The
more units to connect with will produce less transmission rate.)
Note2: If all of your clients do not support TCP/IP protocol, only the first
client can connect to the wireless station adapter.

How to access the web-browser configuration utility? Please do the
following:
1. Connect your computer to the wireless station adapter either through
wireless or wired connection. Please set a fixed IP address (refer to
Appendix), within the range of 192.168.0.X (X can’t be 10), to your
computer.
2. Activate your browser, then type this Station Adapter’s address (e.g.
http://192.168.0.10), in the Location (for IE) or Address field and press
Enter.
3. Key in the system password (the default setting is “default”) and click on
the “Login” button. You will see the main page.

Configuration
General:
Station Adapter Name: In this field, you may enter any name. This will
enable you to manage your Station Adapter more easily if you have
multiple station adapters on the network. Besides, Station Adapter
Name can be used to prevent you from forgetting an IP Address and fail
to access the website. Try to type the nickname you like to identify the
website, then press the button of “Apply” to reboot. Whenever you want
to get back to the website again, just type the name you login.
ESSID: The ESSID is a unique ID used by Access Points and Stations to
identify a wireless LAN. Wireless clients associating to any Access Point
must have the same ESSID. The default ESSID is ANY. The ESSID can
have up to 32 characters.
Network Type: There are 2 network types for the wireless station
adapter to operate. If you need to access company network or Internet
via Access Point, select “Infrastructure”. To set up a group of wireless
stations for files and printer sharing, select “Ad-Hoc” (without Access
Point). For Ad-Hoc operation, the same ESSID is required to set for the
wireless stations.
Channel: Select a clear and available channel as an operational channel
for your wireless station adapter when it performs as Ad-Hoc mode.
10
Mode: There are three different wireless modes to operate, “B Only
Mode”, “G Only Mode”, and “B/G Mixed Mode”. In B/G Mixed Mode, the
wireless station adapter is compatible with a mix of both 802.11g and
802.11b clients. You will see that the factory-set default “B/G Mixed Mod”
will prove the most efficient. B Only Mode is compatible with 802.11b
clients only. This mode can be used only if you do not allow any 802.11g
clients to join a network. G Only Mode is compatible with 802.11g clients
only. This mode can be used only if you do not allow any 802.11b clients
to access to the network. To switch the mode, select the desired mode
form the pull-down menu next to “Mode”.
Rate: The wireless station adapter provides various data rate options for
you to choose. Data rates options include Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48 and 54. The default setting is Auto.
Country/Region: Allows you to select country domain in case there is
any chances that you would use wireless network in other countries.
There are a total of 11 countries for you to select. They are Africa, Asia,
Australia, Canada, Europe, France, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South America,
and USA. Note that if your AP and station adapter are in different
standards, please use the “Country/Region” item to switch the
standards of the station adapter (For example, if your Access Point is
America standard but your station adapter is Japanese standard, you can
pull down the “Country/Region” option to switch your station adapter
from Japanese standard to American standard.).
Password: You may change the default password by entering the new
password.
Click “Apply” if you have made any changes.
11
WEP:
The wireless station adapter allows you to create up to 4 data encryption
keys to secure your data from being eavesdropping by unauthorized
wireless user. To enable the encryption, all devices on the network, such as
the Access Point, must share the same WEP selection – either Enable or
Disable, and they must share the same WEP key.
Disable: Allows the wireless station adapter to communicate with the
Access Point without any data encryption.
WEP40: Requires the wireless station adapter to use data encryption
with 40-bit algorithm when communicating with the Access Point.
WEP128: Allows the wireless station adapter to communicate with the
Access Point with data 128-bit encryption algorithm.
WPA: Allows the wireless station adapter to communicate with the
Access Point with a more secure data protection than the WEP. Here you
can select the WPA with PSK mode to improve the data security and
privacy during wireless transmission. The present WPA supplied with this
station adapter is used in a pre-shared key mode, which does not require
an authentication (Radius) server.
12
For 40bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII: Enter 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z”
and “0-9” (e.g. MyKey).
Hex: Alternatively, you may enter 10 hexadecimal digits in the range
of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g. 11AA22BB33).
For 128bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII: Enter 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z”
and “0-9” (e.g. MyKey12345678).
Hex: Alternatively, you may enter 26 hexadecimal digits in the range
of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC).
After entering the WEP keys in the key field, select one key as active key.
Alternatively, you may create encryption keys automatically by using
Passphrase. From the Passphrase field, type a character string and click
Generate. As you type, the wireless station adapter will use an algorithm to
generate 4 keys automatically. Select one key from the 4 WEP keys.
Moreover, the wireless station adapter provides two types of authentication
services: Open System and Shared Key. The default authentication type is
Open System. If you require higher security for wireless access, you may
select Shared Key. Note that when Shared Key is selected, a WEP key is
required and must be the same with the key that Shared-Key-enabled AP
uses. (The authentication mode will be available soon).
13
For WPA-PSK mode you may choose:
In the WPA-PSK field, you may enter 8-63 characters ranging from “a-z”,
“A-Z” and “0-9”.
Enter the Pre-Shared Key
14
If you require that access to the Internet or other wireless network services
is allowed only when the pre-shared key of the station adapter matches that
of the AP.
Click the “Apply” button on the Configuration tab to make the setting take
effect.
