2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
1. Decide where to place your Wireless Access Point
You can place your Wireless Access Point on a desk or other flat surface, or you can
mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Access Point in the
center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any potential
source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven.
-8-
2. Setup LAN connection
a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet
port to one of the LAN ports (number 1-2) on the AP. Repeat the process to
connect other computers to the AP. If you need to connect more than two
computers to the AP, use a 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch (preferred) or hub and
connect the Ethernet cable from the AP to the switch/hub’s UPLINK port. You
may need to switch on the UPLINK feature on the switch/hub. The AP supports
up to 253 network computers and devices.
b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this product at a proper position to gain the best
transmits performance.
Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN connections for this product.
Note: If an UPLINK port is not available, simply connect a
crossover Ethernet cable from the AP to the switch/hub.
-9-
3. Power on
Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this
product will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase,
the indicators M1 will be lighted ON for about 10 seconds, and then M1 will be
flashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1
will be continuously flashed once per second to indicate that this product is in normal
operation.

Chapter 3 Configuring Wireless Access Point
This product provides Web based configuration scheme, that is, configuring by your Web
browser, such as Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer. This approach can be
adopted in any MS Windows, Macintosh or UNIX based platforms.
3.1 Start-up and Log in
Activate your browser, and disable the proxy or add the IP address of this product into
the exceptions. Then, type this product’s IP address (the factory setting is
192.168.123.254) in the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press
-11-
ENTER.
After the connection is established, you will see the web user interface of this product.
There are two appearances of web user interface: for general users and for system
administrator.
To log in as an administrator, enter the system password (the factory setting is ”admin”) in
the System Password field and click on the Log in button. If the password is correct, the
web appearance will be changed into administrator configure mode. As listed in its main
menu, there are several options for system administration.

3.4 Primary Setup
This option is primary to enable this product to work properly.
1. IP Address: the IP address of this device. You can change it if necessary.
2. Mode: the operating mode of this device. The default mode is “AP”, which is the
normal operation mode of a wireless AP. You can change it to the “Bridge” mode if
you want this product to work as a wireless bridge* .
3. Network ID(SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN).
Client stations can roam freely over this product and other Access Points that have the
-15-
same Network ID. (The factory setting is “default”).
Note: This item won’t take effect in “Bridge” mode.
4. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the
Regulatory Domain.
The factory setting is as follows:
USA/Canada
Europe/Australia (ETSI)
Japan (All)
Channel 6
Spain, France Channel 10
Japan Channel 14
5. WEP Security: Select the data privacy algorithm you want. Enabling the security can
protect your data while it is transferred from one station to another. The standardized
IEEE 802.11 WEP (64-bit or 128-bit) is used here.
6. WEP Key 1, 2, 3 & 4: When you enable the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key security,
please select one WEP key to be used and then input 10 or 26 hex-decimal (0-9, A-F)
digits.
MAC Access Control Setup MAC addresses to control which wireless clients can
associate to the wireless LAN.
*Wireless Bridge:
Two of this device will be able to communicate with each other when they are
working in the “Bridge” Mode. You can connect two wired LANs together via wireless
connection with wireless bridge function. The connection is as follows:
-16-
To let two devices communicate with each other via wireless, just set these two
devices to “Bridge” mode and set the “Channel” to the same channel number.
Note: This device can’t be a wireless AP when it is operating as a wireless bridge.
This means there is no wireless client can associate to this device when it’s in the bridge
mode.
B“Bridge” mode. “Bridge” mode.

3.5 DHCP Server
The settings of a TCP/IP environment include host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS
configurations. It is not easy to manually configure all the computers and devices in your
network. Fortunately, DHCP Server provides a rather simple approach to handle all these
settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable this product’s
DHCP server and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when
your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from
this product. The settings of DHCP server include the following items:
1. DHCP Server: Check “Enable” to enable the DHCP server function. All the settings
in this page will take effect only if “Enable” is checked.
-18-
2. Range of IP Address Pool: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will
automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the
requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP
address pool.
Clients List List the current mapping of the IP and MAC address for
each DHCP client.
Fixed Mapping In general, DHCP server assigns an IP address chosen from
the IP addresses pool randomly. Fixed Mapping allows you
to assign a specific IP address to the specified MAC
address.
-19-
3.6 MAC Address Control
MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to
assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address.
MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of
the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable”
is checked.
Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of
which wired and wireless clients can connect to this device. If
-20-
a client is denied to connect to this device, it means the client
can't access to the Internet either. Choose "allow" or "deny"
to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in
the "Control table" (please see below), to connect to this
device.
Association control Check "Association control" to enable the controlling of
which wireless client can associate to the wireless LAN. If a
client is denied to associate to the wireless LAN, it means the
client can't send or receive any data via this device. Choose
"allow" or "deny" to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC
addresses are not in the "Control table", to associate to the
wireless LAN.
Control table "Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC
Address Control" page. Each row of this table indicates the
MAC address and the expected IP address mapping of a client.
There are four columns in this table:
MAC Address MAC address indicates a specific client.
IP Address Expected IP address of the corresponding
client. Keep it empty if you don't care its
IP address.
C When "Connection control" is checked,
check "C" will allow the corresponding
client to connect to this device.
A When "Association control" is checked,
check "A" will allow the corresponding
client to associate to the wireless LAN.
-21-
In this page, we provides the following Combobox and button to help you to input the
MAC address.
You can select a specific client in the “DHCP clients” Combobox, and then click on the
“Copy to” button to copy the MAC address of the client you select to the ID selected in
the “ID” Combobox.
Previous page and Next Page To make this setup page simple and clear, we
have divided the “Control table” into several
pages. You can use these buttons to navigate to
different pages.
