Configuring the SpaceLink 802.11g AP
The home gateway can be configured to meet various usage scenarios.
Some of the factory default settings may suit your usage; however, others
may need changing. Prior to using the home gateway, you must check the
basic settings to guarantee it will work in your environment.
Configuring the SpaceLink 802.11g Access Pointis done through a web
browser. You need a Notebook PC or desktop PC connected to the SpaceLink
802.11g Access Pointand running a web browser as a configuration terminal.
The connection can be wired or wireless. For the wireless connection, you
need an IEEE 802.11b compatible device, e.g. ASUS SpaceLink PC Card,
installed in your Notebook PC. You should also disable WEP and set the
SSID to "default" for your wireless LAN device.
If you want to configure the SpaceLink 802.11g Access Pointor want to
access the Internet through the SpaceLink Dual-Band Home Gateway, TCP/
IP settings must be correct. Normally, the TCP/IP setting should be on the
IP subnet of the SpaceLink Dual-Band Home Gateway. The SpaceLink

to set your PC to get its IP address automatically and reboot your computer.
