The AWS-100

Wireless Access Point

AWS-100 Access Point is an 11 Mbps wireless device that seamlessly integrates

with existing Ethernet networks to support applications such as mobile users or temporary

conferences. This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost

savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling.) Just

install enough wireless access points to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into your

notebooks or install wireless adapters into your desktops, and start networking.

Using this device in conjunction with AWP-100/AWA-100 Wireless PC/PCI Cards, you

can create an instant network that integrates seamlessly with 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs.

Moreover, moving or expanding your network is as easy as moving or installing additional

access points, no wires!

Hardware Description A

The AWS-100 Wireless Access Point serves as a Media Access Control (MAC)

bridge between your wired Local Area Network (LAN) and one or more Wireless Local Area

Networks (WLANs) (including wireless clients or other access points). Just attach the access

point anywhere along your Ethernet LAN to provide wireless stations within its area of

coverage with transparent access to the local wired and wireless LAN.

The AWS-100 Wireless Access Point supports an 11 Mbps half-duplex connection

to Ethernet networks for each active channel. It is fully compliant with 2.4 GHz DSSS

CSMA/CA Wireless networking as defined in IEEE 802.11b, and 10 Mbps Ethernet as defined

in IEEE 802.3

User’s manual –AWS-100

Applications

The AWS-100 Wireless products offer a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for

wireless client access to the network in applications such as:

²Remote access to corporate network information

E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation

²Difficult-to-wire environments

Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open areas where wiring is

difficult to employ,

²Frequently changing environments

Retailers, manufacturers and banks that frequently rearrange the workplace and

change location

²Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time

Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites, which need temporary setup for a

short time period. Retailers, airline and shipping companies who need additional

workstations for a peak period.

²Access to databases for mobile workers

Doctors, nurses, retailers, white-collar workers who need access to databases

while being mobile in the hospital, retail store or office campus.

System Requirements

Before you install the AWS-100 Wireless Access Point, be sure you can meet the

following requirements:

²An A/C power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) which will supply power for the access

point

²An available RJ-45 (UTP) port on a 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-T Ethernet hub or

switch.

²802.11 compliant Wireless Ethernet adapters with TCP/IP compatible protocol

installed.

²Web Browser for configuration.

Installation

1. Select the Site -Choose a proper place for your AWS-100 Access Point. In general,

the best location to place the access point is at the center of your wireless coverage area,

within line of sight to all your mobile stations.

2. Attach the Antenna -Screw the antenna into the antenna connector (ANT) on the back

panel. Proper placement will improve performance. Try to place the access point in a position

that can best cover its BSS. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the

performance.

3. Connect the Ethernet Cable -The AWS-100 can be wired to a 10 or 10/100 BASE-T

Ethernet with a network device such as a hub or a switch. Connect into the RJ-45 connector

socket on the back panel with category 3, 4 or 5 UTP Ethernet cable and an RJ-45 connector.

4. Connect the Power Cable -Connect the power adapter cable to the 9V

DC power Socket on the rear panel.

Warning: ONLY USE the power adapter supplied with the AWS-100.

Otherwise, the product may be damaged.

Note: The RS-232 Port is a reserve port for future function. There is no any

function or configure interface in currently model.

User’s manual –AWS-100

Configuration

The diskette labeled “Utility Diskette”,that comes with the package contains a utility program

for the AWS-100 Wireless Access Point. Any updates can be downloaded from

Addtron's Web site at

http://www.addtron.com

Warning: Backup your utility diskette and use the copy as the working diskette to

protect the original from accidental damage.

The AWS-100 can be configured over an Ethernet network using RJ-45 cable or wireless

device that link to this AP. You may connect the AWS-100 to a network device such as a

hub or switch. Then, run the utility program, and configure the AWS-100 remotely as

described below.

Windows NT/95/98/ME/2000 Installation

1. Insert the AWS-100 utility disk into the floppy drive on your PC, and then enter the

following command: A:\utility\setup.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the

utility program.

2. When you run the installed utility click on “AP” and then select “Scan” from the menu, the

program will then detect all the AWS-100s wired to the Ethernet network

User’s manual –AWS-100

3. From the list of detected AWS-100s, select and double click on the unit you want to

configure. The web browser page will appear as follows:

4. Enter the user name “default” and password “WLAN_AP” This will take you to the home

page.

NOTE: The AP firmware doesn’t check the field of User name. User can hit any

string except the “default” to login into the home page.

5. Click on “AP Information MIB”, “AP Control MIB”,“TCP/IP Settings”or ”Change

Password” to select the page required.

The AP Information MIB screen displays the categories of information shown below.

User’s manual –AWS-100

In the AP Control MIB page set the parameters and the click on “Apply Changes” to implement

the settings.

6. DS Channel –Set the wireless channel number as the operating radio channel.

Note1: Corresponds the available channel setting (region) will be displayed in

the field of right corner.

FCC/IC: 1-11, ETSI: 1-13, MKK: 1-14, France: 10-13 and Spain: 10-11.

Note2: If you have several wireless LAN networks with different SSID on one

floor, the transfer speed may be affected when communicating with

other wireless networks. This is because radio waves with the same

frequency are being used (Close frequencies used on adjacent channels

may interfere with each other also).

To avoid this problem, set a different frequency (wireless channel) for

each wireless LAN network.

7. SSID -This SSID (ESS-ID) is an identification code required for communication in a

wireless LAN. (Default: “WLAN”)

Note: The SSID is upper/lower case sensitive and can consist of up to 32

alphanumeric characters.

8. RTS Threshold -Set the RTS Threshold to enable the RTS/CTS mechanism. (Default:

2,305,the maximum values and means Disabled)
