Introduction
1.1 Overview
Thank you for choosing this 54Mbps Wireless Access Point. The
Access Point is a transparent bridge device which provides mobile
wireless clients the connectivity to a wired network. This enables
the wireless clients to access all available resources and
peripherals on the wired network. In addition, multiple Access
Points can be installed to extend the wireless service coverage
area for seamless wireless access.
With the support of new emerged 802.11g draft standard, the
Access Point provides data transfer of up to 54 Mbps, up to 5 times
faster than 802.11b. Since 802.11g operates on the same
frequency of 2.4 GHz as 802.11b, it is backwards compatible with
existing Wi-Fi 802.11b devices. The benefit is that you can
preserve the existing 802.11b infrastructure while migrating to the
new screaming fast 802.11g.
In addition, this Access Point has an integrated DHCP server which
automatically assigns IP addresses to your wireless devices. The
AP also implements a built-in Web server for easy configuration.

1.3 Wireless Network Scenarios
An AP is used as a bridge linking the wireless network to a wired
LAN and thus creating an Infrastructure network. According to the
scale of your network, you can install a single AP or multiple APs to
create a roaming wireless network.
The simplest Infrastructure network is depicted as the figure below
where a group of wireless clients and an AP composes a Basic
Service Set (BSS). As this 54Mbps AP is 802.11g and 802.11b
compliant, it is capable of linking both the 802.11g and 802.11b
wireless clients to your wired network.
Figure 1-1
Connecting to a single AP
For larger area, you can also choose to implement multiple APs to
extend the wireless service coverage area for seamless wireless
access. A group of wireless clients and multiple APs using the
same SSID form an Extended Service Set (ESS). The figure below
shows a typical roaming wireless network within which each AP
operates in an independent channel. But all the APs use an
identical SSID and security settings (if enabled).
For the mobile clients that want to wander across the different APs
but maintain the network connectivity at all times, they must
operate in Infrastructure mode and use the same SSID and
security settings (if enabled) with the APs. If the APs are “open”,
that is, periodically broadcast their SSIDs to allow the wireless
1. Introduction
clients to recognize their presence, then wireless clients can use
the special SSID “any” to associate with these “open” APs.

This chapter describes how to configure an Ethernet or wireless
station to access the AP’s built-in Web server for initial
configuration.
You can choose to access the AP’s Web interface via Ethernet or
wireless network. Whatever your choice, you must properly
configure the network settings of your PC to be on the same
subnet with the AP. As the AP is shipped with these defaults:
•
•
•
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP server: Disabled
Therefore, you should configure your PC’s TCP/IP settings to use a
static IP as below:
•
•
•
IP address: 192.168.1.x (x is between 2 and 254)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
The ensuing sections will guide you through the static IP
configurations. Once you have enabled the AP’s DHCP server
function, you may just set your PC to be a DHCP client.
3.1 Setting up TCP/IP
Before proceeding, make sure your computer is equipped with
Ethernet network card or wireless adapter and has appropriate
network card driver and TCP/IP installed.

from which you configure the AP may lose the communication to
the AP. To reconnect, you will need to reconfigure your PC to use
an IP address compatible with the new IP address.
15
54Mbps Wireless Access Point User Manual
Enabling DHCP Server
The AP implements a built-in DHCP server which can be used to
dynamically assign IP addresses to the DHCP clients on the
LAN/WLAN. It is also probably you already have a DHCP server on
your network and you do not enable this function.
Note: It is not allowed to have two DHCP servers running on one
LAN at the same time. If you decide to enable the DHCP on this AP,
remember to disable the DHCP function of the other device.
To use DHCP server function, make sure you have properly set the
AP’s IP address, enable the DHCP service, then enter the fields
below:
DHCP Lease Time: Specify the time that a network device can
lease a private IP address before the DHCP server reassigning the
IP address.
IP Pool Range: Specify the starting and ending IP address of the
IP address pool. Whenever a network device requests an Internet
session, the AP will allocate an unused IP address from this pool
and lease them to the device for a specified amount of time.
Setting the AP to be DHCP Client
If your network has already deployed a DHCP server, you should
set the AP to be a DHCP client. The AP will request an IP Address
from the DHCP server when rebooted or powered up.
After you enable the DHCP client option and apply the change,
your PC will lose the communication to the AP. Since the IP
address assigned to the AP could come from a large DHCP
address pool, you will need a third-party tool to identify the AP’s IP
address.

4.4 Wireless LAN (2.4G) Configuration
With the default values, the AP can be easily associated by a
wireless client. We suggest that you customize the wireless
settings to prevent unauthorized association.
Access Point Name: The name used for identifying the Access
Point. The default value is 11g AP.
SSID: Service Set ID. It uniquely identifies a logical network
domain name of your WLAN. The default value is 11g AP.
Network Type: An “Open” AP will periodically broadcast its SSID
to allow the wireless clients to recognize their presence. However,
this creates a security hole since any wireless station with SSID set
to “any” or got the broadcast may associate to your AP. It is
recommended to set this option to Closed to have your AP only
accept stations whose SSIDs are the same as this AP.
Country: Select the country where you use this AP. When the
country setting is changed, the AP scans only the legal frequency
channels allowed in that regulatory domain.
Channel ID: The radio frequency used for communication.
Available channels vary according to the regulations in the country
you specified in the Country drop-down list. Select a channel out
of the available cannels or use the default channel.
υ Security
Data Encryption (WEP Mode): Select whether to use WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), an authentication algorithm which encrypts
your data and protects your wireless network against
eavesdropping.
•
•
18
Off: The data is not encrypted when it is transferred from
one station to another. This is the default. For security
concern, we strongly suggest you enable WEP function.
On: The data is encrypted by the default key (with its radio
button selected) before being transmitted. If WEP is set to
On, you should proceed to enter WEP keys.
4. Web Configuration
Authentication Mode: Select Open System or Shared Key or
Shared Key only.
Authentication is a process in which the AP validates if wireless
clients are qualified to access the AP’s service. This happens prior
to any wireless client can associate to an AP. The IEEE 802.11
defines two types of algorithms in authentication: the “Open
System” and “Shared Key”.
•
•
Open System: The authentication is done through a
pseudo process, accepting all kinds of requests, mainly
used in cases where connectivity is more important than
security.
Shared Key: Utilizes WEP capability to further verify if a
wireless client is authorized to share this AP’s resource. If
the client has the wrong key or no key, it will fail
authentication and will not be allowed to associate with
the AP.
If you select Open System or Shared Key, wireless stations with or
without correct WEP keys can be authenticated by the AP.
Yet if Shared Key only is selected, you must enable WEP function and
define your WEP keys. The keys are used both to authenticate wireless
clients and encrypt outgoing data.
WEP Keys: Enter one to four WEP keys in either ASCII or
Hexadecimal format. You can use 64 bits or 128 bits as the
encryption algorithm. The higher the bit number, the greater the
complexity and the security of the encryption.
Note that when using Hexadecimal format, only digits 0-9 and
letters A-F, a-f are allowed. Valid key length for each encryption
type is as below:
HEX Format
ASCII Format
64 Bit
10 hexadecimal digits
5 ASCII characters
128 Bit
26 hexadecimal digits
13 ASCII characters
19
54Mbps Wireless Access Point User Manual
Specifing a default key to encrypt outging data
Aside from entering your WEP keys, you should select one of the
entered keys to encrypt the data before being transmitted. The AP
always transmits data encrypted using this WEP Key. The key
number (1,2,3,4) is also transmitted. The receiving station will use
the key number to determine which key to use for decryption. If the
key value does not match with the transmitting station, the
decryption will fail. To ensure successful decryption, have your
wireless stations set identical key tables.
Note: All Wireless Stations must use identical encryption algorithm
level and Key values (same key position in its key table) to ensure
successful data transmission.
υ Access Control
MAC Address Access Control: This AP has the capability to
control the wireless client access based on the MAC address of a
wireless client. We offer you the flexibility to customize your own
control policy based on these options:
•
•
•
Allow: If selected, only the wireless client whose MAC
address is in the Allow List is allowed to access this AP.
Deny: If selected, only the wireless client whose MAC
address is in the list cannot access this AP. Others clients
are granted access.
Disable: No access control. All the clients are allowed to
access this AP.
When entering MAC address in the list, up to 16 MAC entries are
allowed.
υ Advanced Configuration
We suggest you not to modify the Advanced parameters unless
specific requirement is required. The parameters are described as
below:
Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic interval at which the Access
Point sends out a beacon.
20
4. Web Configuration
RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet
size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism.
Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the
RTS/CTS mechanism.
Fragment Threshold: It determines whether packets will be
fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets
exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into,
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand,
packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value
are not fragmented.
DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period.
This value determines at which interval the AP will send its
broadcast traffic. The default value is 3.
Rate: The default setting, Auto, allows the AP to automatically use
the fastest possible data rate. Selecting a specific rate forces the
AP to transmit at a particular speed.
Basic Rate Set: The Default option uses 1 or 2 Mbps for 802.11b
and 6, 12 or 24Mbps for 802.11g as the basic rate of your wireless
network. The All option uses 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9,11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
or 54Mbps. The wireless clients must support the basic rate to
successfully associate with the AP.
54g Mode: 54g is Broadcom’s latest wireless technology which
offers the fastest possible data rate of 54Mbps under 802.11g draft
specification. This item allows you to choose from these
communication options:
•
•
•
54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clietns can
communicate with this AP. The data rate will be
automatically adjusted.
54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can
communicate with the AP.
802.11b Only: Only 802.11b clients can communicate with
the AP.
