device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If

this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one of the following measures:

z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.

1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an

angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose.

2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a

wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of

obstructions between them.

3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to

position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry

wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the

signal.

4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless

adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices.

5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal.

Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves,

radios and baby monitors.

6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz

cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop

the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless

signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.

If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing

additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage

depending on the environment.

Page 26

NETWORKLANSETTING

These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the Access Point. The Access Point's

local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this

section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface.

LANConnectionType

Choose "Static IP (fixed IP)" if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need

to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the following fields.

IP Address

The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of

IP addresses available for the LAN. For example, 192.168.10.100.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the local area network.

Default Gateway

The IP address of the router on the local area network.

Choose “DHCP (Auto Config)” if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP

address to the AP.

AP Mode Support

AP Mode Support allows you to “repeat” a wireless signal from an existing access point.

Select the radio button to enable or disable “AP Mode Support”. When enabled you have the option of

defining the specific access point to repeat off of by entering in the remote access points or wireless

router’s wireless MAC address into the “AP MAC Addr. (Optional)” field. You must also configure the

TEW-638AP with the same SSID, channel and wireless encryption settings of the remote access point.

AP Mode Support enabled

Wireless Mode

If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access Point can connect in the same

transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate "Only" mode. If

you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.

Wireless Modes

802.11b/g mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and

will allow both wireless b and wireless g client to connect and access the TEW-638PAP at

11Mbps for wireless b, at 54Mbps for wireless g and share access at the same time. Although the

wireless b/g operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices

(Wireless n/g @ 54Mbps) to connect and access at the same time.

Page 29

802.11n only (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only

allow the use of wireless n client devices to connect and access the TEW-638PAP up to

300Mbps*. Although the wireless n operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, this mode will only permit

wireless n client devices to work and will exclude any other wireless mode and devices that are

not wireless n only.

802.11b/g/n mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range

and will only allow the use of wireless g client devices to connect and access the TEW-638PAP at

11Mbps for wireless b, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 300Mbps* for wireless n and share

access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it

will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the

same time.

Wireless Name (SSID)

When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list

(unless Broadcast Network Name is set to Disable, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID.

For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name. Add

up to three additional SSIDs to create virtual wireless networks from one wireless Access Point.

Multiple SSID #

This Access Point support multiple SSID function, you can assign three more SSID for the TEW-638PAP.

Create virtual SSID wireless networks (WLAN) with different type of wireless security for each virtual

WLAN that is created. When using the wireless adapter wireless site survey tool, there will be additional

wireless network to connect with once the feature is enabled.
