2Using the Reset ButtonYou may use the reset button to restore your 5430 to factory defaults. Place the 5430 into a special configuration mode or just reboot the device. • Firmly press the button and release under 5 seconds to reboot the 5430. • Firmly press the button less than 5 seconds for Configuration Mode. • Firmly press the button for more than 10 seonds to restore to factory settings.Using the reset button to enable the 5430’s DHCP ServerIf you need to access the 5430’s Web User Interface pages, you will need to have the 5430 supply your computer with an IP Address. In order for the 5430 to supply this IP Address, you must hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds. This allows the 5430 to become a DHCP server capable of serving an IP Address in the range of 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254 to any device requesting an IP Address. Accessing the 5430’s Web User Interface pagesOut of the box, the 5430 is configured in Client Mode. Client Mode converts wireless data to Ethernet data which is forwarded onto your computer’s Ethernet (NIC) connection. Since the 5430 is in Client Mode, it is acting as a pass-through device and as a pass-through device, you cannot access the Web User Interface pages until the 5430 is placed into a Configuration Mode. In Configuration Mode, the 5430 will supply your computer with an IP Address. To enable the Configuration Mode, firmly press the reset button between 5 and 10 seconds with a pen or paperclip. When the reset button is released, the 5430 will reboot into Configuration Mode and is ready to provide your computer with an IP Address. After allowing sufficient time (approx. 2 minutes) for the 5430 to reboot, you can test whether your computer has an IP Address from the 5430 by launching an Internet browser and typing 192.168.2.1 in the address line. If your search for the device times-out or you did not get a dialog box for the username and password, you may need to refresh the IP settings on your computer. Follow the steps below for your operating system to refresh the IP settings on your computer. Once complete, access the 5430 using your browser. Windows 95, 98, or Me Users:Click Windows Start and then Run. Type winipcfg and click OK. Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server data to make sure they are correct. If the information is not correct, click Release All and then click Renew All.Windows NT, 2000, or XP Users:Click Windows Start and then Run. Type cmd and click OK. At the DOS prompt, type ipconfig /all. Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server data to make sure they are correct. If the information is not correct, type ipconfig /release and press Enter. Then, type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.R24.0451.00 5430 English Install.fm Page 2 Wednesday, February 4, 2004 5:20 PM
3Using a secure wireless networkA wireless network offers you the freedom to roam without the burden of cables but it also means that your data is accessible to anyone else in range of your wireless grid. If you are concerned about a aneighbor or someone within range of your wireless network using your wireless connec-tion for malicious activity, we strongly recommend that you enable wireless security to prevent unauthorized connection or someone from eavesdropping to listen in on your network traffic. Today, many wireless routers provide several mechanisms for securing a wireless network and it is recommended that you first enable security on your wireless router and then match the method you have selected on your clients. U.S. Robotics recommends any one or a combination of the following three methods:MAC Address filteringMany wireless routers provide a mechanism for creating a list of devices that can participate in your wireless network. Refer to your wireless router’s documentation to learn if MAC Address fil-tering is supported and how to enable it. You will need to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)Your 5430 supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP security. If available on your wireless router, we rec-ommend you enable the higher bit security. When you enable WEP, it uses a key generated by the wireless device to hid (encrypt) the data and this specifically formatted data can only be under-stood by another wireless device that knows of this key. Since both ends use the same key, any users who do not know the key cannot connect to your network and use your Internet connection. Enabling security on your 5430I want to enable WEP.After you have obtained your network name (SSID configured on your wireless router and its security settings, you can use the Security menu located on the Web User Interface pages to pro-gram your 5430 for WEP or WPA security. Your 5430 provides both WPA and WEP security features (refer to the What is the difference between WPA and WEP? section in this User Guide for additional information). When Network Authentication is Disabled (No WPA), you need to make a choice whether to leave Data Encryption Off (No security) or select WEP (The network key you enter will determine which strength encryption to use: 64- or 128-bit).R24.0451.00 5430 English Install.fm Page 3 Wednesday, February 4, 2004 5:20 PM
4If you choose to leave Data Encryption off, you do not need to do anything else but click Apply to confirm your choice. If you select WEP, you have the option to enforce Shared Key Authentication (Forced) or let the 5430 send it only when a wireless router requests it. It is recommended that you match the Network Keys with that of your wireless routers. If you have multiple Network Keys, you can enter up to four keys.

5Advance Menu OptionsRadioUse the Advance Menu to enable and disable frequency transmissions; Radio On or Off. Channel802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interferance from other devices. If you are experienc-ing interference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, change the channel on your 5430 as well as your wireless router. 54g ModeIf you are having difficulty connecting to an 802.11b wireless only router, try switching your 5430 to 802.11b only mode and do the same with your wireless router. This will ensure you are con-necting to 802.11b devices only. 54g ProtectionThe 802.11g standards provide a protection method so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network without speaking at the same time. Do not disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless network. RateYou may force a lower data rate if you are having trouble getting connected or losing data at a higher rate. It is important to know that some data rates belong only to one 802.11 standard but not the other which will force your 5430 to connect to only that network. 802.11g rates; 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps802.11b rates: 1, 2, 5.5, 11 MbpsR24.0451.00 5430 English Install.fm Page 5 Wednesday, February 4, 2004 5:20 PM
6Basic Rate Set:You have the option of supporting all rates as listed in the Rate section above or using the 1, 2 Mbps rates which will support only older 802.11b implementations. Fragmentation ThresholdThis threshold is used to fragment packets which help improve performance in the presence of RF interference. RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)The RTS threshold determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an access point, helps control traffic flow. DTIM IntervalThe DTIM Interval sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode. Beacon IntervalA beacon is a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other devices where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in millisec-onds (ms). Preamble TypePreambles are a sequence of binary bits that help the receivers synchronize and ready for receipt of a data transmission. Some older wireless systems like 802.11b implementation use shorter preambles. If you are having difficulty connecting to an older 802.11b device, try using a short preamble. 54g+ Xpress Xpress is a proprietary technology that allows two devices using this technology to connect at speeds greater than the standard 54Mbps rate.
