Figure 4-2 Basic Access Network
To connect a wireless station to the 11Mbps Wireless LAN network, each station
must be configured with the same Network Name as the Access Point.
To configure the wireless stations, follow the instructions as described in the
documentation that comes with your wireless client adapter.
To install and configure the Access Point perform the following steps:
1. Install the Access Point hardware
2. Connect to the Access Point with the AP Manager program.
3. Set the Network Name and save configuration to the Access Point.
4. Create a back-up file of the new configuration settings (optional but
recommended).
Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each of the Access Points that you wish to install.
Step 1 - Installing the Access Point
For installation instructions of the Access Point hardware, please refer to the
Getting Started Guide that was shipped with the Access Point.
Step 2 - Connecting to the Access Point
To connect to the Access Point, you need to address each Access Point via its IP
address.
If your network includes a BOOTP or DHCP server, the IP address will be
assigned automatically (refer to for more information about BOOTP/DHCP.
In situations where no IP addresses are assigned automatically, the IP
address will be 153.69.254.254.
1. Subject to the decisions you made in chapter 3"Setting Up your LAN Administrator Station", you may either install the
Access Points at your desk and configure them one by one, or have the Access Points mounted directly in their various
locations prior to configuring them via a network connection.
