  • Page 23: Chapter 2: Installation

    Chapter 2: Installation The wireless AP/Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the switch on the bottom panel of the device: • Router Mode — Normal gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory set default mode.

  • Page 24: Ap Mode

    Installation To connect the wireless AP/Router in Router Mode for use as an Internet gateway, follow these steps: Connect an Ethernet cable from the wireless AP/Router’s WAN port to your Internet connected cable or ADSL modem. Connect an Ethernet cable from the wireless AP/Router’s LAN port to your PC. Alternatively, you can connect to a workgroup switch to support multiple users.

  • Page 27: Chapter 3: Network Planning

    Chapter 3: Network Planning The wireless AP/Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs.

  • Page 28: Lan Access Point

    Network Planning The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address. The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and static IP for connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem.

  • Page 29: Wireless Bridge

    Wireless Bridge Wireless Bridge The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points. The wireless AP/Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units. A single WDS bridge link can be specified for the WLAN1 interface. One end of a link must be configured as the “WDS Parent”...

    Initial Configuration Common Settings The common settings for each WAN Connection mode are identical and are described in the section below. Figure 4-5. Common Settings WAN Ethernet MAC — Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address provided to your ISP for registration.

  • Page 35: Static Ip

    Using the Setup Wizard Static IP Configures a static IP for the WAN port. The following example shows the dual WAN function enabled using 3G as a secondary WAN connection. Figure 4-6. Setup Wizard - WAN Static IP • IP Address: The IP address of the wireless AP/Router. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.

  • Page 36: Dhcp

    Initial Configuration DHCP Enables DHCP for the WAN port. The dual WAN option is disabled in the following example. Figure 4-7. Setup Wizard - WAN DHCP PPPoE Enable the wireless AP/Router IP address to be assigned automatically from an Internet service provider (ISP) through an ADSL modem using Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
  • Page 37 Using the Setup Wizard • PPPoE Password: Sets a PPPoE password for the WAN port. (Default: PPPOE_PASSWORD; Range: 1~32 characters) Enables a 3G/3.5G wide-area wireless cellular link on the WAN port using an optional USB modem. Note: To use this option you need to first connect a 3G/3.5G USB modem to the USB port on the back of the unit and have registered an account with a cellular operator.
  • Page 38 Initial Configuration The following cautionary message will appear each time you save your settings. Figure 4-10. Setup Wizard - WAN 3G PIN Code Warning An unauthenticated connection will display the message ‘Not dial yet’ beneath the PIN code, as shown in the following illustration. However if you have previously entered the correct PIN code followed by an incorrect PIN code, your connection will wait ten seconds and automatically default to the correct PIN code for authentication.
  • Page 39 Using the Setup Wizard • Pin Code: Specifies a PIN code number that corresponds with that set on your 3G/ 3.5G USB modem and displays the status of the 3G connection. - Not dial yet: Indicates that the PIN code has not been entered or is incorrect. - Authenticated successfully: Indicates that the 3G connection has authenticated successfully.
