3 Intr oduc tion Thank you for pur chasing the A ction tec 54 Mbps W ireless A ccess P oint. W e ’ve work ed hard to mak e this A ccess P oint the simplest, most con venient wa y to creat e a wireless network for your home offic e or small business.
4 s All compute rs included on the wireless network must hav e wireless net- working capabilities Acc ess P oint F eatures The A ccess P oint has a series of LEDs on its front panel, and a series of por ts on its rear panel. It is r e co mmended that the user become familiar with these features before installing or setting up the A cc ess P oint.
5 intermittently when there is wireless acti vit y . Rear Panel The A ccess P oint has a P ower Connect or , A LAN (Ethernet) P ort, an Antenna J ack, and a Reset butt on on its rear panel. LAN Port The Ethernet (LAN) port is used to connect the Acc ess P oint to a hub or router with the Gray Crosso ver E thernet cable.
6 T echnical Support A ction tec Electronics, Inc., prides itself on making durable, high-quality , high- performance products. I f y ou need assistance, the A ct ion tec T echnical Support Department is available to provide professional support 24 hours a day , every day , ex cept major holida ys.
7 W ireless Netw orking Basics W ireless netw orking connects comput ers to each other using radio signals rather than wires. This allows users the freedom t o mov e around and w ork anywher e within the range of the wireless network. A wireless network c onsists of tw o ele- ments - Clients and A ccess P oints.
8 All of the wirelessly netw orked comput ers (also known as clients) communicat e 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 fr om a Single Computer It is also possible to c onnect an acc ess point to a single computer , inst ead of a network hub . This method can be used t o share the co mputer’ s Inte rnet 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 ware that this device 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 , h ub or switch for wireless network usage or for administration of an acc ess point (using the W eb Configuration Utility to change an acc ess point’ s setting s,.
12 Setting Up the A cc ess P oint The 54 Mbps W ireless A ccess P oint is shipped ready for immediate use. Its factory 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 connection to the Acc ess P oint should be established and you are r eady to acc ess to the unit ’ s control panel. Acc essing & Using The C ontrol P anel Making Sure Y our Computer Can T alk T o The Access P oint . The A ccess P oint’ s contr ol panel has an internal IP addr ess of 192.
14 3. The "W elcome" scr een appears. Fr om this point, you can c onfigure the Acc ess P oint from one of its seven sub-menus Setting the IP Address The IP A ddress section allows y ou to setup IP Addr ess, either DHCP or static IP mode.
15 Basic Settings Click on the “Basic Settings” selection and the “Basic Settings” page w ill appear . This menu allows y ou to change the W ireless N etwork N ame (ESSID*) ,f r o m its default value, change the Operating Channel**, and enable one of several 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 . An example of a 64-bit WEP key is: 4E-A3-3D-68-72. T o create a set of 64- bit WEP k e ys, enter fi ve hexadecimal digit pairs into the desir ed K ey text bo x ( Key 1, Key 2, K ey 3, K ey 4).
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 w ired and wireless connections.
18 WP A Security The W iFi Prot ected A ccess (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 you wish to enable 802.1x, contin ue to step 4 of this proce- 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 Authentication ( Acc ess Contr ol) Th e “MAC A uthentication ” scr een, giv es a u se r the option of controlling who can talk to the A ccess P oint access based on the user client ’ s MA C address. This is done using entries on the “ Exc eptions List ” to block or accept a group of potential users.
21 NO TE : Ensure the MA C Address entered is in the co rrect format (i.e., six sets of two hex- idecimal numbers separated by c olons). A properly formatted MA C address would be the following: 00:20:ea:08:00:17 If an incorrectly formatted MAC addr ess is entered, an error message stating that an invalid MA C address has been enter ed appear s.
22 2. Be sure to ent er passwor d a second time in the R e-enter N ew P assword text bo x, 3. Click App ly . If you want to disable the passwor d mode after it has been activat ed, you must select the " Restor e Default " button on this page.

24 T roubleshooting & F A Qs This chapter details some pot ential problems that ma y occur while using the A ccess P oint, and solutions to ov ercome the m. Also included here are frequently 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 , depending on distance fr om the A ccess P oint and the amount of attenuation (ph ysical bar riers such as walls, glass, etc.
26 If I installed sev eral A ccess P oints in differ ent locations in m y building , will they be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay c onnected as I mov ed between them? The A ccess P oint does not communicate with other acc ess 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 alphanumer ic characters (0-9, a-f ) (exam- ple: 843c29a562) 128-bit WEP K ey - Composed of 26 alphanumer ic characters (0-9, a-f.
28 Setting Up Static IP Configuring your Acc ess P oint v ia a direct c onnection to y our comput er requires that you set up what ’ s known as a “static IP address ” on y our computer’ s Ethernet connection.
