    UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Access Point. Unpacking Open the box of the Access Point and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One Wireless Access Point One external power adapter One USB cable (A type to B type) One Installation CD (Driver &...
  • Page 8 Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the AP in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity. Visually inspect if the Power Adaptor was fully plugged to the device power jack.

  • Page 12: Configuring The Wireless Lan Access Point

    CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT There are two ways to configure the Wireless Access Point, configuring through AP utility and SNMP Manager. Installing the AP Utility and SNMP Manager The AP Utility and SNMP Manager will help you to configure the Wireless LAN Access Point through the USB port or Ethernet port.
  • Page 13: Configuring Through The Ap Utility

    Configuring through the AP Utility The AP Utility helps you configure the Wireless LAN Access Point through the USB port. On the Windows Start Menu → Program → 802.11 Wireless LAN → Access Point Utility, choose the AP Utility, and the following dialog box will appear.
  • Page 14 You may double click the value parameter on the right side as shown in the figure for advanced settings; some Identifier’s value may not be modified and some value will be in a range that to shown in the dialog box. MAC Address: showing the MAC ID of the device.
  • Page 15 Operational Rate Set: to select the transfer rate from 11, 5.5, 2 and 1Mbps. Beacon Period: to select the time of beacon signal from 20-1000 (Typical 100 millisecond). DTIM: Set the DTIM period. Determines at which interval the AP will send its broadcast traffic. Default value is 4 beacons. Antenna: to determine which antennas are used, Left, Right or Diversity.
  • Page 16: Configuring Through The Snmp Manager

    In the information dialog box, it will display out the firmware version and the utility software version. Configuring through the SNMP Manager The Access Point SNMP Manager is provided to manage the Wireless LAN Access Point through Ethernet. Note: Before using the SNMP manager to configure the AP, please check with your network administrator to have enough information for the setting.
  • Page 17 Ø File Menu: The file menu contains the following enabled submenus: Close Connection AP: Terminates the connection with the AP. Exit: Terminates the connection with the AP and exits the SNMP Manager. Ø Setup Menu: As soon as the connection has been established, you are able to start viewing or setting the AP parameters.
  • Page 18 This option enables / disables the DHCP client function of the AP. Additionally you have to select the Primary Port, which is the interface that determines the DHCP server. You can also choose to use either Ethernet and/or Wireless port for the AP configuration.
  • Page 19 Operational Settings: In this submenu, you can select to configure the advance feature of the Access Point. Access Point Name: appoint a name for the AP. SSID: It is an ASCII string up to 32 characters used to identify a WLAN that prevents the unintentional merging of two co- located WLANs.
  • Page 20 Fragmentation Threshold: the size at which packets will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes. RTS Threshold: Choose a setting within a range of 0 to 2432 bytes. It is recommended limiting a long packet to prevent each station waiting too long to transmit a data.
  • Page 21 Authorized MAC Address: For security reasons the AP can use the Authorization Table option. The AP allows only authorized stations to get associated to it. Under the Authorized MAC Address option you may press the following buttons: u Load File: Use this button in order to load a txt file with the MAC Addresses that can be associated with the AP (Authorized MAC Addresses).
