Page 8: Introduction
The WX-1500SB and WX-1520SB Access Point can be connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network through a RJ45 (UTP) connector, while the WX-1500EN and the WX-1520EN support 10/100 base Ethernet Interface. -
Page 9: Installation
3 Installation Mount the Access Point firmly to the wall on the position that is determined during the site survey. A drill model is supplied as a separate sheet with this manual. Make sure the antennas are in a vertical position (if not, rotate over 90 degrees). Insert the power connector. -
Page 10: Apmanager Features
4 APManager Features APManager provides a consistent view of the Wireless network. The systems administrator can use APManager to control a large number of Access Points from a single location. The Access Points are remotely updated via the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). -
Page 11: Apmanager Main Window
4.1 APManager Main Window The Main Window of APManager may look like this. Before going into detail it is good to have an idea of what kind of information to expect. You may wish to skip to Quick Start to Wireless Networking. The tree structure on the left of the window shows a list of WLANs (Wireless LANs) and the Access Points that are part of each WLAN. -
Page 12: Quick Start To Wireless Networking
4.2 Quick Start to Wireless Networking Configuring a Wireless Network for the very first time, involves the following seven steps: Physically connect the Access Points to the Ethernet LAN. Make sure they are switched on. The GemTek wireless network will be up and running immediately. If you are content with the default settings of the Access Points, you can stop right here. -
Page 13: Managing Access Points
4.4 Managing Access Points Individual Access Points are identified by their hardware address (or MAC address). To insert a new Access Point into the APManager document by hand, its hardware address must be known. You can search for Access Points in your network automatically;... - Page 14 Read-only features shown include hardware address, brand and version, and the regulatory domain.

Page 15: Network Settings Dialog
4.4.1 Network Settings Dialog Selecting the Edit/Network Settings… menu item (or clicking the corresponding toolbar button) pops up the Network Settings dialog. Use this dialog to inform APManager about your network configuration. APManager needs this information to be able to scan for Access Points. -
Page 16: Manually Programming Ip Addresses
4.4.3 Manually programming IP addresses The preferred method of providing IP addresses for your Access Points is applying a DHCP or BOOTP server in your network. If you do, the Access Points will acquire an IP address automatically from this server. If you do not have a DHCP server it is possible to set the IP address of your Access Points from APManager. -
Page 17: Managing Security
4.5 Managing Security Maintaining security in a wireless LAN environment is somewhat different from a wired network, because the radio waves do not stop at your office walls. Eavesdropping or unauthorised access from outside your building can be a serious threat. There are three types of actions involved: •... -
Page 18: Access Control
4.5.1 Access Control Within the IEEE 802.11b framework, Access Control is based on the hardware address of the client stations. Per client you can select whether or not it will be allowed access to your wireless network infrastructure. On the WLAN Security tab, check the Use Access Control box to enable Access Control. -
Page 19: Updating Access Point Settings
4.6 Updating Access Point Settings After modifying the open APManager document you should update the Access Points in your network with the new settings.
