Page 11: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction The 2.4 GHz Wireless Access Point is an IEEE 802.11b/g access point that provides transparent, wireless high-speed data communications between the wired LAN and fixed or mobile devices equipped with an 802.11b, or 802.11g wireless adapter. This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). -

Page 14: Component Description
Introduction Component Description Antennas The access point includes integrated internal diversity antennas for wireless comunications. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving, the access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest signal. When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously selected for receiving. -
Page 15: Ethernet Port
Hardware Description Ethernet Port The access point has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications. This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. - Page 16 Introduction...

Page 17: Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service Set (refer to “Infrastructure Wireless LAN”... - Page 18 Hardware Installation Mounting on a wall – The access point should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. Mark the position of the mounting screws on the wall so they line up with the two mounting slots on the bottom of the access point.
- Page 19 T-rail (ceiling mount) Connect the Power Cord – Connect the power adapter to the access point, and the power cord to an AC power outlet. Note: If the access point is connected to both a PoE source device and an AC power source, PoE will be disabled.

Page 20: Access Point Configuration
Hardware Installation Note: The RJ-45 port on the access point supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. Access Point Configuration The access point can be configured by connecting a PC to its Ethernet port and accessing the web interface. -
Page 21: Chapter 3: Network Configuration
Chapter 3: Network Configuration Wireless networks support a stand-alone configuration as well as an integrated configuration with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The 2.4 GHz Wireless Access Point also provides repeater and bridging services. Access points can be deployed to support wireless clients and connect wired LANs in the following configurations: •... -
Page 22: Network Topologies
Network Configuration Network Topologies Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no Access Point) An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio channel. -
