Package Contents Unpack the contents of the package and verify them against the checklist below. MIL-W2331G Wireless LAN Access Point DC Power Adapter Users Guide If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local dealer for service.
Hardware Installation Desktop Installation Connect the 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless Access Point to a hub (in Bridge mode) or a PC with a UTP Ethernet cable. The cross-over cable must be used when connecting the Access Point directly to a PC. Power On Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless Access Point.
Web-based Configuration The 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless Access Point allows configuration through a Web-based Configuration Utility. The following instructions will complete the installation of the Wireless Access Point. Accessing the Web-based Configuration Utility 1. Connect a computer to the Access Point either through wireless or wired connection.
System Configuration The Web-based Configuration Utility provides 3 items to monitor and configure the Wireless Access Point: Configuration, Install Wizard and Status. These core options are essential to enable the Access Point to work properly.
3.1 Local Area Network (LAN) Settings: Three options are provided for the Local Area Network setup: • Local Area Network • External DHCP • Internal DHCP If an external DHCP server will be used, select Dynamic for the Primary Address Selection.
3.2 Wireless Settings The wireless settings will impact the coverage and the performance of the Wireless Access Point. The Access Point can be operated in three different bandwidth scenarios: • G-only (High rate 54Mbps) • B-only (Low rate 11Mbps ) •...

To deliver the throughput enhancement in both mixed and g-only networks, Prism Nitro mode can be enabled by using Intersil’s packet bursting technology. The burst size is adjustable and typically the bigger burst packet, the more 11g transmission sharing will occur while a mixed network is in effect. Deselect the Broadcast SSID option to logically hide the Access Point.
3.3 Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Links Use the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) option to extend the range of the network without having to use cables to link the Access Points wirelessly. Under WDS, the Access Points are still functioning as regular Access Points, which can provide the link services to wireless clients.
3.4 Wireless Security To protect wireless intellectual property, it is important to secure the wireless connection. This Access Point is equipped a sophisticated security algorithm to protect against intruders entering your system or listening to conversations over the network. 3.4.1 ACL Different access rules may be assigned for each user by adding the MAC address and the access rights.
3.4.2 WEP The basic security setting is to enable WEP algorithm by assigning 64 or 128 bits encryption key. 64 bits: ABCDEA01234567899876543210 128 bits: ABCDA012345 Select Use WEP Security to enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Select a specific length of hexadecimal key and enter the encryption key in the appropriate field.
3.4.3 RADIUS RADIUS performs the authentication function required to check the credentials of users and intermediate Access Points and indicates whether the users are authorized to connect to the network through the Access Points. Enabling RADIUS is the first step toward building up an 802.1x-capable environment.
3.4.4 802.1x Security IEEE 802.1x will perform a standardized network access control to keep out unauthorized users, verify the credentials of users with RADIUS and distribute the encryption key. It is required to provide RADIUS information in prior to setup 802.1x. Two lengths of encryption key are provided, 64 or 128 bits.
3.4.5 WPA The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is currently the highest level of security a wireless network can achieve. It is a subset of the security specification and has been introduced as an interim solution for most known security weaknesses in comparison to the plain WEP. TKIP, the successor to WEP, enhances the ability to eliminate the known vulnerabilities of WEP.
3.5 Install Wizard The install wizard provides guided prompts through the main settings for the Access Point. Begin by selecting the country in which the product will be used. This is the organization that certifies the Access Point for use in each country. Choose the country cautiously in order to comply with the regulation.
3.6 Status The status screen shows current information on the 54Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point as Interface Statistics, Wireless Statistics (including Association and WDS statistics), Client Statistics (including DHCP, Wireless, Access Point and WDS Links), and Event Reporting.
Appendix A: FCC Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received; including interference that may cause undesired operation. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B and C digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
