INFORMATION TO USER
FCC INFORMATION
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
Digital Device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communication.
However, there is no grantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment dose cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Notice: The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other
devices operating at this frequency. Any changes or modification not expressly
approved by the party responsible could void the user’s authority to operate the
device.

1 Introduction
The Access Point is a wireless LAN bridge that can act as the connection point
between the Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol and the wireless CSMA/CA protocol. The
Access Point can be easily integrated into your existing wireless network. In large
installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple Access Points allows
wireless users to move freely throughout the facility while maintaining seamless,
uninterrupted access to the network.
This document describes the steps required for the initial IP address assign and
AP configuration. The description includes the implementation of the above steps.
1.1 Installation Requirements
Before you begin installation, make sure that you have the following items:
• The Access Point
• The AC to DC power adapter
The Documentation CD
•
You will also need:
• A computer that is connected to the same network as the Access Point.
1.2 System Requirements
• Desktop or laptop PC configuration through Ethernet:
Operating System: MS Windows 9X / ME / 2000 / XP.
•

2. Wireless LAN basics
Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be
configured as:
• Ad Hoc wireless LAN, or
• Infrastructure wireless LAN.
Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN PC card called a BSS
(Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN PC cards to
communicate with each other, and notebooks cannot connect to the Internet.

The most obvious differentiation between Infrastructure wireless network and Ad Hoc wireless network is that the notebooks in Infrastructure wireless network can
make use of the resource in the Internet through Access Point.

To set up your notebook’s network as the type of “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure”
wireless network depends completely on your requirement. Generally, if your network
environment has an Access Point, we recommend that you set it as “Infrastructure”
to connect to the Internet.

3. Installation
This section describes the procedures for installing the Wireless LAN Bridge Access
Point under Windows 98 SE operating system.
Before You Start
Before setting up your Access Point, ask your network system administrator for the
following information:
Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a
•
DHCP server.
• The MAC address from the label on the bottom of the Access Point.
• Your Wireless Client Name
• Your Wireless SSID
• Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name
• For your network account, your user name and password.
Every computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There are
two methods of assigning network addresses to computer on a TCP/IP network:
• Static IP addressing
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP)
•
In networks with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually assigns
an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a computer
uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network. You may
manually change the IP address in the Network Properties dialog box. Networks
using static IP addresses are easy to set up and do not require additional network
management software.
In networks with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network dynamically
assigns IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the network. Network
using dynamic IP addresses require setting up and running a DHCP Server or
installing the Wingate software package.

3.2 Setting the IP Address
Each station or device on your network must have a unique IP address. Following
these steps to setting the IP address:
Step 1 Connect an Ethernet station and the Access Point on the same subnet. The
simplest way to accomplish is to connect the Access Point and the Ethernet
station to the same hub. You need to check if the station IP address and the
Sub-net mask are configured properly. Also the new IP address for the Access
Point must correspond to the Subnet mask.
Step 2 In my computer window, double click the CD Drive icon. Choose WLAN
Access Point folder then double click to execute
screen displays as shown.
IPConfig.exe
. Then

Step 3 Type the "Access Point MAC Address" from the label on the bottom of the
Access Point, type the “Config IP” address from your system administrator, and
then click “OK”.
Step 3 Open a MS-DOS Prompt window and type
followed by the IP address
ping
used in the IP Config. The IP address is assigned to the Access Point . The
Access Point’s replies to the ping confirm that the IP address was assigned
correctly.
Step 4 If you get a ping reply, then the IP address has been temporarily set. In
order to set it permanently you need to run SNMP Manager without powering off
the Access Point.

3.3 Using the SNMP Manager
On the Start Menu, choose Start->Programs->SNMP Manager.
