7 W ireless Netw orking Basics W ireless networking c onnects comput ers to each other using radio signals rather than wires. This allows users the freedom to mo ve ar ound and work an ywhere within the range of the w ireless network. A w ireless network co nsists of two ele- ments - Clients and A ccess P oints.
8 All of the wirelessly network ed computers (also kno wn as clients) communicate with each other through the access point, which acts as a wireless hub . Extending a Wired Netw ork T o add wireless networking to an established wired network: 1. Connect the acc ess point(s) to the wired network.
9 Creating a Wireless Network from a Single C omputer It is also possible to c onnect an acc ess point to a single computer , instead of a network hub . This method can be used to shar e the compute r’ s Internet connection among the wireless clients, and is a c ommon way t o use a wireless network in the home.
10 Installing the A cc ess P oint Before Installing Before installing the A ccess P oint, be a war e that this dev ice can subject the user to electrical shock. F ollow the guidelines in this manual and the man uals of an y other equipment used during the installation.
11 2a. If connecting to a Rout er , hub or switch for wireless network usage or for administration of an access point (using the W eb Configuration U tility to change an acc ess point’ s settings, f.
12 Setting Up the A cc ess P oint The 54 Mbps W ireless A cc ess P oint is shipped r eady for immediate use. Its fact ory default settings allow the user to ac cess the wireless network after making a few adjustments to the wireless clients to rec ognize its pre-programmed SSID .
13 Y our c onnection to the A ccess P oint should be established and you are r eady to acc ess to the unit ’ s control panel. Acc essing & U sing The C ontrol P anel Making Sure Y our C omputer Can T alk T o T he Acc ess Poin t . The A ccess P oint ’ s control panel has an internal IP addr ess of 192.
14 3. The "W elcome" screen appears. From this point, you can co nfigure the A ccess P oint fr om one of its seven sub-menus Setting the IP A ddress The IP A ddress section allo ws y ou to setup IP A ddress, either DHCP or static IP mode.
15 Basic Settings Click on the “Basic Settings” selection and the “Basic Settings” page will appear . This menu allows y ou to change the W ireless Network N ame (ESSID*) ,f r o m its default value, change the Operating Channel**, and enable one of se veral available securit y options*** .
16 64-bit WEP uses a key made from of five hexadecimal digit pairs. A hexadeci- mal digit consists of an alphanumeric character ranging from 0-9 or A -F .
17 The " Both " setting allows stations to use either authentication mode . WEP 802.1x Securit y The 802.1x protoc ol is a collection of securit y features intended primarily for enterprise computing en vironments. It simplifies management by applying the same authentication protoc ol for wired and wireless connections.
18 WP A Security The W iFi Protect ed A c cess (WP A) protoc ol is a collection of interoperable securit y enhancements intended for use in both c onsumer and enterprise settings. I t is a forward-compatible subset of the upcoming 802.11i securit y standard that greatly improv es on the WEP securit y standard.
19 and WP A is enabled. If y ou wish to enable 802.1x, c ontinue to st ep 4 of this proc e- dure. T o Enable WP A with 802.1x: 4. Enter the radio server's IP address in the Server Addr ess bo x - This address is obtained from the administrator of the r adio server .
20 MA C Authentica tion ( Ac cess C ontrol) Th e “MA C A uthentication ” scr een, giv es a u se r the option of controlling who can talk to the A ccess P oint acc ess based on the user client’ s MA C address. This is done using entries on the “ Exceptions List ” to block or acc ept a group of pote ntial users.
21 NO TE : Ensure the MA C Addr ess entered is in the correct format (i.e., six sets of two hex- idecimal numbers separated by c olons). A properly formatted MA C address w ould be the following: 00:20:ea:08:00:17 If an incorrectly formatted MAC addr ess is enter ed, an err or message stating that an invalid MA C address has been entered appear s.

24 T r oubleshooting & F A Qs This chapter details some pot ential problems that ma y occur while using the A ccess P oint, and solutions t o over come the m. Also included here are fr equently answered questions and their r espectiv e answers. T roubleshooting My computer’s THE ACCESS POINT Wizard doesn’t locate the Access Point.
25 How fast is the wireless network? The rated speed of the wireless netw ork under optimal conditions is 54Mbps. This speed does var y , d epending on distance from the A cc ess P oint and the amount of atten uation (physical barriers such as walls, glass, etc.
26 If I installed sev eral Ac cess P oints in differen t locations in my building , will they be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I mov ed between them? The A ccess P oint does not c ommunicate with other access points, as it uses a single access point system.
27 How do I make a HEX-based WEP key? 64-bit WEP K ey - Composed of 10 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f ) (exam- ple: 843c29a562) 128-bit WEP K ey - Composed of 26 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f ).
