At the end, windows will show a message that installation is completed.
- Page 8 Utilities Using Guide Basic Configuration We highly recommend you that using “DFU” utility for the first time setting of AP, and “AP Configuration” for latter regular setting, (of course, you should already have a connect with AP through the Ethernet cable). Because the DFU utility configures the AP through USB port, it won’t care about any setting inside the AP.
- Page 9 Press “Configuration” to get the configuration of AP. Note: Don’t download any file to AP, it will cause AP crashed, except that your vendor give you the correct firmware file(, like *.rom) and told you to download it. Now, you can see all the setting of AP.
- Page 10 1. First, set the field of “Eth_IP_Address”, that is the IP address of this AP. You should make sure that the IP address is a valid address in your sub-net. 2. Set the field of “Eth_SubMask”, that is the sub-net mask of this sub-net.
- Page 11 For AP Configuration When you run the AP Configuration, you will see a dialog box pop up like below. Of course, the AP is already connected to your host PC by Ethernet port. 1. Press “File”à”Find Access Point”, it will show a dialog box like below to show you how many Access Points it found on the net.

(The default settings of community are all “public”.) Press “OK”, After then, if both of you are in the same sub-net, it will get the Access point you choose, and turn into a configuration dialog box.

Press “File” à”Download Changes” to make all you change download to AP. After done the above setting, the AP should work properly.
- Page 14 Configuration for Optional function ---Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge function is somewhat like a repeater in the Ethernet world. It can make 2 remote Ethernet LANs just like to be one, which both LANs must got an individual AP connected with. (in another word, 2 remote Ethernet LANs can connected with each other by APs working under the mode.) There are 2 type of bridge mode, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint.
- Page 15 Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge: This mode allows one wireless bridge communicate with a specific remote one only. 1. Run the “AP Configuration” and make a connection with your AP. 2. Press “Advanced” button in the right lower Conner of “Setup” à”Wireless LAN” à”Operational Settings”, then you will see a pop-up dialog like this.
- Page 16 Point-to-Multipoint Wireless Bridge: This mode allows wireless bridge communicate with any bridge on the same channel. 1. Like “Point-to-Point” mode, just clicks “Point-to-MultiPoint”, do the same step to all AP you want to work in bridge mode. 2. Make sure that all bridge mode AP on the same channel. Then you can connect with each other.
