Introduction
The AirTies AP-301 is an IEEE 80 .11b/g compliant, 54 Mbps wireless
communication device that can be used as a Wireless Access Point,
Repeater, or Bridge.
You can connect the AirTies AP-301 to a wired router through the Ethernet
port to setup a wireless local network and enable your wireless computers
to access the Internet.
As a repeater, the AP-301 enables you to extend the coverage area
of a wireless network. The AirTies Mesh Technology is what makes this
possible. The AirTies Mesh Technology resolves problems such as loss of
wireless signal or limited coverage area often encountered in multiple-
story or reinforced concrete buildings. Using the AP-301, the wireless
coverage area can be extended to the maximum without sacrificing
signal quality.
Computers on the network connect to the AP-301 with the strongest
signal, and reach the router or the wired network through the AirTies
Mesh Network.
The AP-301, used as a bridge, enables wired devices (with an Ethernet
interface) such as printers and desktop computers to be included in a
wireless network.

Preparing For Installation
3.1. Assigning a local IP address to a co puter that is
running WindowsXP
The installation settings of the AP-301 must be done from a PC that is
directly, not wirelessly, connected to it. However, the AirTies AP-301
cannot assign an IP address to the PC connected to it for doing the
installation settings since the DHCP feature is not enabled in the default
factory settings. Therefore, an IP address will need to be assigned
manually to the PC.
Double-click on the "Local Area Connection" icon on
the bottom right corner of the WindowsXP desktop. This
will bring up the "Local Area Connection Status" window.
Click "Properties" to go to the "Local Area
Connection Properties" window.
Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click
"Properties".
In the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" window, enter 19 .168. .10
in the "IP Address" field and 55. 55. 55.0 in the "Subnet Mask" field. The
IP address of the AP-301 is 19 .168. . 54. Therefore, the IP address of the
computer should be in the 19 .168. .x range.
Click "OK" to save the values you have entered.
Right click-on the "Network Neighborhood" icon on your desktop and
select "Properties".
This will take you to the "Network Connections" window. Select "TCP/IP"
and click "Properties".

tab. Enter 192.168.2.10 in the "IP Address" field and 55. 55. 55.0 in the
"Subnet Mask" field. The IP address of the AP-301 is 19 .168. . 54. Therefore,
the IP address of the computer should be in the 19 .168. .x range.
Click "OK" to save the values you have entered.
