See your User’s Guide for more information. You may need your Internet access information. To set up your wireless network you need to: • Connect the Hardware • Access the Web Configurator • Configure the NWA1100-N • Install the Hardware • Set Up Power over Ethernet (Optional) Connect the Hardware 1. Using the Ethernet cable, connect the ETHERNET port to a computer for initial configuration. 2. Connect the POWER 12VDC socket to a power source using only the included power adaptor. Connect the NWA1100-N’s ETHERNET port to an Ethernet jack with network access after you have completed the initial configuration. LEDs • The SYS LED blinks red, then turns steady green when the power is connected. • One of the LEDs by the ETHERNET port turns on if the port is properly connected, and blinks when there is traffic. The yellow light shines if the connection is at 1000 Mbps. The green light shines if the connection is at 10/100Mbps. #If neither LED near the ETHERNET port turns on, check the cable connections to the port. Ensure your computer’s network card is working properly. Access the Web Configurator Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, with JavaScript enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions or Safari 2.0 and later versions. Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address Note down your computer’s current IP settings before you change them. First, set your computer to use a static IP address in the 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This ensures that your computer can communicate with your NWA1100-N. See your User’s Guide for information on setting up your computer’s IP address. Log Into the Web Configurator Even though you can connect to the NWA1100-N wirelessly, it is recommended that you connect your computer to the ETHERNET port for initial configuration. 1. Launch your web browser. Enter 192.168.1.2 (the NWA1100-N’s default IP address) as the address. #If you cannot access the Web configurator, make sure the IP addresses and subnet masks of the NWA1100-N and the computer are in the same IP address range. 2. Enter admin (the default username) in the Username field and 1234 (the default password) in the Password field. Click Login. 3. Change the login password by entering a new password and clicking Apply. Be sure to record the new password and keep it in a safe place. #If you change the password and then forget it, you will need to reset the NWA1100-N. Refer to the User’s Guide for how to use the RESET button. 4. The STATUS screen appears. Configure the NWA1100-N Configure System Settings 1. Click SYSTEM in the navigation panel. 2. The SYSTEM > General screen appears. • System Name is for identifying the NWA1100-N on your network. Choose a distinctive name, or leave this at its default. • You can configure the Ethernet port speed and duplex in the Ethernet Data Rate field. If you are not sure, select Auto. 3. Click Apply. Configure Wireless Settings 1. Click WIRELESS in the navigation panel. The Wireless Settings screen displays. Configure the basic settings for your wireless network. The wireless stations and the NWA1100-N must use the same SSID, channel ID and encryption settings for wireless communication. • Operation Mode: Ensure that Access Point mode is selected. • Wireless Mode: Select the wireless standard you want your network to use. If you are not sure which to select, select 802.11b/ g/n. • SSID Profile: Select the SSID profile you want to configure for network access from the drop-down list box. • Channel: Select the wireless channel you want your network to use. • Channel Width: Select the channel bandwidth you want to use. If you are not sure, select 20/40 MHz. 2. Click Apply to save your settings. 3. Click the SSID tab. If you want to configure advanced settings of an SSID profile (such as change the profile name, SSID, or security), select it and click Edit. 4. Click the Security tab. Select the profile you want to configure and click Edit. 5. The edit screen of the selected security profile appears. If you don’t configure wireless security, anyone can access your network. • This is where you can enter the security settings for your wireless network. The fields you fill in differ according to the type of security you select in the Security Mode field. Select None if you do not wish to use wireless security. • This example uses WPA2-PSK security, in which all wireless clients must use the same pre-shared key to join the network. • Ensure that all your wireless clients support the type of security you set. Click Apply when you have finished. #If the wireless clients cannot communicate with the network, ensure that the clients and the NWA1100-N are using the same wireless security settings. 10 Configure IP Settings 1. You need to set your NWA1100-N’s IP address to be in the same subnet as your network. Click IP in the navigation panel. • Select Obtain IP Address Automatically if you want to have a DHCP server on your network assign an IP address to the NWA1100-N. • If you have a specific IP address to use, select Use Fixed IP Address and enter it along with the subnet mask and gateway IP address. • If your ISP provided specific DNS (Domain Name System) settings, enter them in the System DNS Servers section. Otherwise, leave these fields at their defaults. • Click Apply. The NWA1100-N now uses the new IP settings; you can no longer connect to the NWA1100-N using the default IP address. If you change the NWA1100-N’s IP address, you must use the new IP address when you next access the web configurator. If you select Obtain IP Address Automatically, check your DHCP server to determine the IP address it assigns to the NWA1100-N. Refer to your DHCP server’s documentation for more information. 11 2. If you changed your computer’s IP address, return it to its previous setting. 3. Change the wireless settings in the wireless stations to match those of the NWA1100-N, if necessary. Refer to your wireless adapter’s documentation. The NWA1100-N is now ready to connect to your switch or router. You can do this now, or once you have attached the antennas and mounted the NWA1100-N. #If the NWA1100-N cannot communicate with the network, ensure that the NWA1100-N is using an IP address on the same subnet as the switch / router. Install the Hardware Attaching Antennas Screw the antennas clockwise onto the antenna connectors on the sides of your NWA1100-N. The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Make sure the antennas are securely screwed onto the antenna connectors. Hardware Mounting In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better performance, mount the NWA1100-N high up in an area that is free of obstructions. 12 Wall-mounting Do the following to attach your NWA1100-N to a wall. 13 1. Screw the two screws provided with your NWA1100-N into the wall 60mm apart (see the figure in step 3). Use screws with 6mm ~ 8mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads. Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall. The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the NWA1100-N. Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the NWA1100-N with the connection cables. 2. Adjust the cables. Run the connection cables down the back of the NWA1100-N as shown in the following figure. OR: Run the connection cables upward and along the edge of the ceiling. 3. Align the holes on the back of the NWA1100-N with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA1100-N on the screws. 14 NWA1100-N ( Z ) • • • • • NWA1100-N 15 1 1.
