Use the web-based management software to configure the device to suit the requirements of your ADSL account. 2.1.2 Installation Requirements In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the WA1003A-RU that will be
User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-2 stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the WA1003A-RU. If it is necessary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private. Low Pass Filters Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation. Operating Systems The WA1003A-RU uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer. Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter) Any computer that uses the WA1003A-RU must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the WA1003A-RU. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the WA1003A-RU. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter. 802.11b Wireless LAN Configuration All the 802.11b wireless LAN settings may be configured on a single page using the web-based manager.

These two settings must be the same for any wireless workstations or other wireless access point that communicate with the WA1003A-RU through the wireless interface.
User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-4 Security for wireless communication can be accomplished in a number of ways. The WA1003A-RU supports WEP encryption, 802.1X authentication, and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). Wireless access can also be controlled by selecting MAC addresses that are allowed to associate with the device. Please read the section on Wireless Configuration. Additional Software It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the WA1003A-RU itself. If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or CLIP (IPoA) connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the WA1003A-RU. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection. All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

You can also use the Ethernet port on the WA1003A-RU to connect to other Ethernet devices, such as a Wireless Access Point. USB port If your computer has an available USB port, you can connect the WA1003A-RU to this USB port using a USB cable DHCP Client status Your DSL-302T ADSL Modem is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-302T will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to Obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as DHCP clients.) It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL connection in the future. Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your WA1003A-RU. 2.2 Choosing Installation Location The WA1003A-RU functions on three separate networks: a wired Ethernet LAN, a wireless LAN and a wired ADSL WAN. Placement of the WA1003A-RU must take into account the fact that it is connected to these three networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the WA1003A-RU to computers and network devices and the
User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-9 ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC wall outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is often not a complicated matter. However, the added dimension of wireless communication does complicate the decision of WA1003A-RU placement. Many environmental factors can affect the effective wireless function of the WA1003A-RU. If this is your first time setting up a wireless network device, read and consider the points listed below. The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting. Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, Wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the number of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. To range and signal strength, use these basic guidelines: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum: The signal emitted from Wireless LAN devices can penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall or ceiling can reduce the range of Wireless LAN devices from 1 to 30M. Position your wireless devices so that the number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is minimized. 2. Consider the direct line between access points and workstations: A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it is over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position access points
User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-10 and client adapters so the signal can travel straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better reception. 3. Building Materials make a difference: Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel. 4. Position the antennas for best reception. Play around with the antenna position to see if signal strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow the user to judge the strength of the signal. 5. Keep your product away (at least 1-2 meters) from electrical devices: Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that generate RF noise such as microwave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc. 2.3 Installing USB Driver You should install the USB driver into your PC before using USB connection. To install the USB driver, you must execute “WA1003A-RUDriver.exe” contained on the CD-ROM, which is provided with the modem. During the installation, it doesn’t need any interference from your side. If you are using Windows XP/2000, a new “Local Area Connection” will then be built for USB port.

User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 3 Configuring 3-1 Chapter 3 Configuring The first time you setup the WA1003A-RU it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the WA1003A-RU are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you may continue to make changes to WA1003A-RU configuration including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection and describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the WA1003A-RU including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup. 3.1 WAN Configuration Summary 1. Connect to the WA1003A-RU To configure the WAN connection used by the WA1003A-RU it is first necessary to communicate with the WA1003A-RU through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to “see” the WA1003A-RU. Your computer can see the WA1003A-RU if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the WA1003A-RU. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the WA1003A-RU. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the WA1003A-RU. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.
User Manual Quidway W1003 Series Wireless Access Device WA1003A-RU Wireless ADSL Access Point Chapter 3 Configuring 3-2 2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN connection. 3.2 Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the WA1003A-RU it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the WA1003A-RU. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the WA1003A-RU. For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP
