1. The Wireless Technology
1.1 Standard
The Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a standards. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an
extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the data rate up to 54 Mbps (108Mbps in Super G mode) within the
2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this
device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format you’re your network
without noticeable delays. The IEEE 802.11a standard is based on 5.8 GHz band with data rate up to 54 Mbps (108
Mbps in Turbo mode) to have a better clean wireless band away from interference.
These two standards work by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller
sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the
amount of cross talk (interference) in signal transmissions. The AP will automatically sense the best possible
connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible. The 802.11g and 802.11a offers the most
advanced network security features available today, including: WPA, TKIP, AES and Pre-Shared Key mode.
U11.2 Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter. Computers in a wireless
network must be configured to share the same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters
can communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network. The wireless adapters also provide users access to a
wired network when using an access point or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an
infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired network
infrastructure via the access point or wireless router. An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a
wireless PC to a wired network, and may double the effective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter
PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data within a network, the effective transmission range in an
infrastructure network may be doubled.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your
wireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the wireless PC's signal, providing that they both
share the same channel and SSID. Before enabling you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and
optimum access point position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly
enhance performance.
Network Layout
The AP Access Point has been designed for use with 802.11a or 802.11g and 802.11b products. With 802.11g
products communicating with the 802.11b standard, products using these standards can communicate with each
6
other. The Access point is compatible with 802.11a or 802.11g and 802.11b adapters, such at the PC Cards for your
laptop computers, PCI Card for your desktop PC, and USB Adapters for when you want to enjoy USB connectivity.
These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g or 802.11b wireless Print Server. When you wish to
connect your wired network with your wireless network, the Access Point’s network port can be used to connect to
any of switches or routers.
Installation Considerations
The AP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range.
Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless
signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow
these basic guidelines:
zKeep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
zKeep the number of walls and ceilings between the AP and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or
ceiling can reduce your AP’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of
walls or ceilings is minimized.
zBe aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick(0.5 meters), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!
Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
zBuilding materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative
effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

Connecting the BOSSW76 to Your Network
Step 1:
First, connect the POE injector with two Ethernet cable and the power adapter, then plug the other end of the power
adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
Step 2:
Insert an Ethernet cable (Out) to LAN port of the BOSSW76 and another Ethernet
cable (In) to the network adapter in the computer; you will use it to configure the BOSSW76.

AP/ WDS (Bridge) Mode Configuration
3.1 Login Web Page
To access the web control interface, please open a browser window and type in the factory default IP address in the
URL : 192.168.62.240.
Using the Web-based Management Setup
There are only a few basic steps you need to complete to set up the wireless bridge for your network. The Setup web
page takes you through configuration procedures for the radio channel selection, IP configuration, and wireless
security.
Logging In – Click “OK” (there is NO default user name or password, just leave the field blank).
3.2 Information
Under the main web page you will see the configuration menu pages for :
Information, Stations, Wireless, WDS, Security, Filtering, Admin and Advanced.
The “Information” windows displays the settings of the BOSSW76 AP/WDS (Bridge), the AP/WDS (Bridge)
Name, MAC Address, firmware version, SSID, Current transmit rate, Current channel, Security and IP address.
