The WS320 is used to process the wireless signals transmitted between the PC and the wireless router. Thus, a wireless network can be established. C 1 Wireless router 2 WS320 3 and 4 PCs installed with a wireless adapter 3 Setting Up a Wireless Connection When using the WS320, you need to set up a wireless connection between the WS320 and the wireless router only. Then the PC can connect to the wireless network extended by the WS320 as it connects to the wireless network implemented by the wireless router.You only need to connect the WS320 to the wireless network once. Then when you restart the WS320 again, the WS320 will automatically connect to the wireless network that it connected to last time. The WS320 support two methods of setting up a wireless connection.You can choose one of the following configuration methods based on your installation environment and operation habit. Setting Up a Wireless Connection Through the WPS Button If your wireless router supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function implemented through Push Button Configuration (PBC), you can quickly set up a wireless connection between the WS320 and the wireless router by pressing the WPS button. Wi-Fi Protected Setup, abbreviated to WPS, is a standard used for simplifying the security settings of a wireless network.Through the WPS function, you can securely connect your wireless terminal to a wireless network without entering the name and password of the network. 10 Suppose that you are in the network environment as shown in the following figure. Your PC is placed in Room A and it is connected to a wireless network.Because Room C is far from the wireless router and wireless signals are blocked by several walls, the PC in Room C cannot connect to the wireless network.Room B is between Room A and Room C. Now you want the PC in Room C to connect to the wireless network also. To set up the wireless connection, do as follows: 11 Step 1 Power on the wireless router in Room A. On the wireless router, ensure that the wireless network function and the WPS function implemented through PBC are enabled. The method of configuring a wireless network on a router varies with the routers produced by different manufacturers.For details about the configuration method, see the wireless router operation guide provided by the manufacturer. 12 Step 2 In Room A, connect the WS320 to a power socket near the wireless router. After the WS320 is powered on, the indicator on the panel turns on in red, indicating that the WS320 is being started.Wait for about one minute. Then the indicator on the WS320 turns solid yellow, indicating that the WS320 has been started but not connected to the wireless router. 13 Step 3 Press the WPS button on the wireless router to start the WPS negotiation of the router.Press and hold the WPS button of the WS320 for over 1s within two minutes, and then release the button. At this time, the indicator of the WS320 blinks in yellow, indicating that the WS320 is trying to connect to the wireless router through the WPS function.Wait for a moment (generally about 10s and less than 120s). When the indicator of the WS320 turns solid green, it indicates that the WS320 successfully connects to the wireless router through the wireless network. 14 Step 4 Unplug the WS320 in Room A, and then plug it into the power socket in Room B. After the WS320 is powered on, the indicator on the panel turns on in red, indicating that the WS320 is being started.Wait for about one minute. Then the indicator of the WS320 blinks in yellow, indicating that the WS320 is trying to connect to the wireless network.When it successfully connects to the wireless network, the indicator of the WS320 turns solid green. If the indicator turns solid yellow after it blinks in yellow, it indicates that the WS320 cannot connect to the wireless network.In this case, adjust the position of the WS320, placing the WS320 near the wireless router. 15 C Step 5 Place the PC in Room C.After being started, the PC automatically connects to the wireless network extended by the WS320.At this moment, the extended network can be used the same as that implemented in Room A. 16 C Setting Up a Wireless Connection Through the Web-Based Configuration Utility If the wireless router does not support the WPS function, you can manually connect the WS320 to the wireless router by using the Web-based configuration utility. You need to access the Web-based configuration utility through the wireless network of the WS320.By default, an unencrypted wireless network has been configured on the WS320.The service set identifier (SSID) of the wireless network is Repeater.When you use the WS320 for the first time, you can connect to the 17 default wireless network to access the Web-based configuration utility of the WS320. Suppose that the wireless SSID of the wireless router is AP. To perform the configuration, do as follows: Step 1 Power on the wireless router in Room A. Ensure that the wireless network function of the wireless router is enabled. SSID: AP Step 2 In Room A, connect the WS320 to a power socket near the wireless router.Wait for about one minute until the WS320 is started. 18 C 19 Step 3 In Room A, log in to the quick configuration webpage of the WS320 on the PC. 1.

The WPS function has no special requirement on the wireless encryption settings;however, it is recommended that you use the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2–Pre-shared key (WPA2-PSK) security mode together with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption rather than the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption method for accessing a wireless network.The reasons are as follows: If a wireless network is not encrypted or encrypted by using WEP, the security performance is poor. In addition, on some wireless routers, the WPS function is forcibly disabled when the WEP encryption is used for accessing a wireless network. If several SSIDs are enabled on my wireless router, when the WS320 tries to connect to a wireless network by using the WPS function, which wireless network does the WS320 connect to? By using the WPS function, the WS320 tries to connect to the wireless network with the SSID numbered 1. If my wireless router does not support the WPS function, how can I set up a connection between the WS320 and the router? You can manually connect the WS320 to the wireless network of the wireless router by using the Web-based configuration utility of the WS320. If the WS320 fails to connect to the wireless network of a wireless router after 33 I press and hold the WPS button, what should I do? Step 3 Ensure that only one wireless router has started the WPS negotiation at a particular moment. Step 4 Ensure that only one WS320 is trying to connect to the wireless router through the WPS function at a particular moment. Step 5 On the wireless router, ensure that the wireless network function and the WPS function implemented through PBC are enabled.Note that on some wireless routers, the WPS function is forcibly disabled when the WEP encryption is used for accessing a wireless network. Step 6 Check the positions of the wireless router and the WS320. Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, which generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Step 7 It is recommended that you place the wireless router and the WS320 in an open space.Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too many obstacles such as cement or wooden walls can affect the transmission of wireless signals of a wireless network. 6 Appendix Hardware Features The following figure shows the positions of the interface, buttons, and indicator on the WS320. 34 The following table describes the interface, buttons, and indicator of the WS320.
