Hardware Installation
Following illustration is an example showing how to install AP with hub/switch.
Be sure to use the supplied power adapter.
Connecting the Access Point to your Network
For optimal performance, usually the center of your wireless network is the best place for
your AP, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations. Try to place it in a position where can
best cover your wireless network and is away from any potential source of interference. And
normally, the higher you place the AP, the better the wireless signal coverage will be.

6. FAQ & Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and
operation of the Wireless Access Point. Please refer to the following descriptions to solve the
problems. If you can’t find an answer here, please contact your dealer for further advices.
Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point. How to check the problem?
A: Please follow the procedures below:
Check if your PC has installed TCP/IP protocol.
Check if the IP addresses of your PC and Wireless Access Point both are on the
same IP network. If not, you may use Wireless Navigator to set up AP’s IP address,
or change your PC’s IP address.
Check if your wireless LAN card is set to Infrastructure correctly.
Check if the SSID of your wireless card is the same as AP’s.
Check if the WEP is enabled. If yes, please make sure that the wireless card in
your PC and the Wireless Access Point both have the same setting for WEP, such
as the key tables must match.
At last, please check if radio interference is causing a problem; see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection
range can be as short as 100 feet in poor environment.
Q: The Wireless connection speed is very slow. How to improve the problem?
A: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the
distance and the environment condition. To obtain the highest possible connection speed,
you have to try to adjust the Access Point location and orientation. If you find the interference
is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.
Q: Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network?
A: This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network.
Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network.
Q: Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network?
A: Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network). Refer
to the game’s user guide for more information.
Q: What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
A: The IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standards subcommittee, which is formulating a
30
User Manual of Wireless Access Point with 4-Port 10/100M LAN Switch
standard for the industry. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware from different
manufacturers to communicate.
Q: What’s Ad-hoc?
A: An Ad-hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected
as an independent wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale
for a branch or SOHO operation.
Q: What is Infrastructure?
A: An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration.
Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or
wireless application for mobile workers.
Q: What is Roaming?
A: Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while
moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single Wireless Network
Access Point. Before using the roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is
the same SSID with the Wireless Access Point of dedicated coverage area.
Q: What is Spread Spectrum?
A: Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the
military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to
trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In the other words, more
bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off
produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the
receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver
is not turned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise.
There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
Q: What is WEP?
A: WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
7. Glossary
This section explains the glossary of terms used in this manual that are required to configure
31
User Manual of Wireless Access Point with 4-Port 10/100M LAN Switch
the network.
Wireless Channel
If there is more than one Wireless LAN network with different ESS-ID on the same floor, and
they are communicating with each other, the baud rate may be slowed, due to the same
radio frequency being used. If this happens, you can still communicate regardless of other
LAN networks by using to use different frequencies (wireless channels).
Note: If they are communications using the wireless LAN, be sure to set all the Units the
same wireless channel.
DHCP Server
When configuring the network TCP/IP, be sure to set the IP address in each personal
computer and other devices. When there is a DHCP server on the network, you can assign
IP addresses automatically to the personal computers and the Access Point on the network.
For the Windows NT server and dial-up router, or other DHCP server function, refer to the
Windows 2000, Windows NT, or dial-up router manual, or consult the manufacturer.
ESS-ID
This ID is used to prevent cross-communication during communication between the Access
Point and personal computers within the wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN personal
computers that have the same ESS-ID as the Access Point can communicate with the
Access Point. The ESS-ID is case sensitive. You can enter a maximum of 32 alphanumeric
characters, and the underline "_".
LAN (Local Area Network)
Read as one word. A LAN is a network in a comparatively small area, such as campus or
within a single building. The LAN baud rate varies from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)
The MAC address is a physical address specific to each network card. The MAC address is
configured from a total of six bytes as follows: A vendor code comprising the lead three bytes
and a 3-byte user code. The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE. The user code
is managed using a unique (unduplicated) number from the network card manufacturer. That
is, the MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout the world. In an
Ethernet LAN, the MAC address is used as a base to create a frame for sending and
receiving.
32
User Manual of Wireless Access Point with 4-Port 10/100M LAN Switch
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is a protocol equivalent to the network and transport levels of the OSI reference
model, and it is defined using RFC. Consequently, different terminals can communicate with
each other using TCP/IP.
• Normally, TCP/IP includes the application protocols TELNET and FTP.
• TCP/IP is the standard internet protocol.
WEP (Encryption)
By setting an encryption key in the Access Point, you can prevent wireless packets from
being decrypted externally.
Firmware
Firmware is the name given to the software (programs) built into hardware such as the router,
modem, and terminal adapter. This software is built into the hardware, so it can be said to be
in-between hardware and software.
Protocol
Protocols are the procedures and regulations for sending and receiving data between the
network terminals. For example, if two computers are communicating, you can send the
correct information according to the regulations by formatting all required information. The
protocol such as which terminal sends first, what type of message, what type of message the
receiving terminal should send in reply, the data format, and responses to communications
errors are same of examples.
Roaming Function
If using the roaming function and moving from one room to another room, you can switch the
Access Point automatically. With the roaming function, you can easily move from the office
to the conference room while maintaining access to the network.
