1 Connecting the Hardware

ENGLISH

1LAN 1~4: Use Ethernet cables to connect the LAN ports to computers, switches and a statement printer

(optional).

2WAN: Connect your broadband modem to this port with the Ethernet cable that came with your modem. 3POWER 5VDC: Connect the G-4100 v2’s included power adaptor to the G-4100 v2’s power socket. The

PWR light (LED) turns on. The LAN and WAN LEDs flash and then turn on if they have proper connections.

The ZyAIR LED turns on for 20 seconds and then turns off. The SYS LED turns on. The ZyAIR LED turns back on and blinks if the wireless connection is active.

2 Web Login

1 Launch your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1.

2 Enter admin as the user name and 1234 as

the password. Click Login.

3 Setup Wizard

The Wizard Setup screens appear automatically after your first login.

1 Fill in the fields with information from your ISP. Refer to the online help for details.

The screen varies depending on the encapsulation type you use. Leave fields set to the default if you don’t have that information.

ENGLISH

2 Enter a unique name as the ESSID to identify the G-4100 v2 in the wireless LAN.

Select a channel (range of radio frequencies) that is not being used by other wireless devices in the area. WPA provides user authentication and data encryption. WPA’s data encryption is stronger than WEP’s. The pre-

shared key is case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). Use the advanced wireless setup screen if you want to use WPA with a RADIUS server (see the User’s Guide for details).

WEP provides data encryption only (no user authentication).

3 You can configure a backup e-mail server in the event that a subscriber’s e-mail server is unreachable

from the G-4100 v2.

4 Select Yes to be able to create and use subscriber accounts. This wizard configures authentication and

accounting settings for the G-4100 v2’s built-in local subscriber database. Use the advanced RADIUS setup screen to use an external RADIUS server instead (see the User’s Guide for details).

ENGLISH

5 Set the type of accounting to use. Set up Internet access time periods and their prices.

6 You can use a statement printer to generate subscriber accounts and print subscriber statements. If you do

so, make sure that no other devices on your network use the same IP address as the printer (192.168.1.7 by default). If you need to change the printer port number or IP address here, make sure you also change it in the printer, see the printer’s user’s guide for how to do this.

You can alternatively generate subscriber accounts in the web-based account generator and print the statements on your regular printer.

7 Select a subscriber billing profile for each button on the “exclusive printer” (statement printer) or the web-

based account generator. The billing profile defines the maximum Internet access time and charge per time unit.

ENGLISH

Set how many copies of the subscriber statement to print. Click Customize printout text to tailor the subscriber statements (see page 7). For the three button (statement) printer, Click I want to setup... to also configure the web-based account generator settings. In the web-based account generator setup:

Click Preview/Operate to open the account generator (see page 8). Set the username and password for accessing the account generator.

ENGLISH

Use this screen to tailor what displays on the subscriber statements. This is an example of the default

subscriber statement when you print it from an account generator printer (the statement printer).

ENGLISH

This is the web-based account generator. Click one or more of the buttons to generate accounts.

Click View Account List to see the accounts you generated.

8 Change the G-4100 v2’s management password and update the time. You can also specify from which IP

address the G-4100 v2 can be managed.

ENGLISH

4 Generating and Printing Subscriber Account Statements

If you have a statement printer connected and turned on, simply press the buttons to generate and print subscriber account statements. If you are using a PC-connected printer, do the following.

1 Launch your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 (as in section 3 on page 3). 2 Enter the web-based account generator user name and password that you configured in the wizard (see

page 6).

3 Click the buttons in the screen to generate accounts. 4 The details of each new account display in a separate window. Click the Print button to print out the

account statement.

5 Attach the Antennas

The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.

ENGLISH

6 Hardware Installation

In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better performance, mount the G-4100 v2 high up in a spot free of obstructions.

Note: Do not block the ventilation holes.

6.1 Free-standing Installation

1 Use the included screw to connect the G-4100 v2’s stand. Do not tighten the screw yet. 2 Twist the stand to the side and un the connection wires through the gap in the stand.

3 Twist the stand back to the vertical position and tighten the screw.

6.2 Wall-mounted Installation

1 Install the two included screws in the wall 80mm (3.15") apart. Do not screw the screws all the way into the

wall. Leave a small gap between the head of the screws and the wall.

ENGLISH

2 Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the G-4100 v2

with the connection cables.

3 Adjust the cables. 4 Hang the G-4100 v2 on the screws.

7 Troubleshooting

Problem Corrective Action

None of the LEDs turn on.

Make sure that you have the correct power adaptor connected to the G-4100 v2 and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Check all cable connections.

If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.

ENGLISH

Problem Corrective Action

Cannot access the G-4100 v2 from the LAN.

Cannot get a WAN IP address from the ISP.

Cannot access the Internet.

Check the cable connection between the G-4100 v2 and your computer or switch. Refer to section 1 for details.

Ping the G-4100 v2 from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer’s Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly. Also make sure that its IP address is in the same subnet as the G-4100 v2’s.

In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the G-4100 v2’s LAN IP address (192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The G-4100 v2 should reply.

If you’ve forgotten the G-4100 v2’s IP address or password, use the RESET button. Press the button in for about 5 seconds (or until the PWR LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the G-4100 v2 to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).

Check your Internet connection settings in the wizard (refer to section 3). Make sure that you have entered the Internet access information correctly. With PPPoE or PPTP, the username and password are case sensitive.

Check the G-4100 v2’s connection to the Ethernet jack with Internet access. Make sure the Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly.

For wireless clients, check that both the G-4100 v2 and wireless client(s) are using the same ESSID, channel and WPA or WEP keys (if encryption is activated).
