1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this 54Mbps Wireless-GAccess Point.
During the design process, we have given much thought to make this device
as convenient to use as possible. The end result is the WirelessAccess Point
that can be set up in minutes, allowing network users to access the Internet via
this Wireless Access Point instantly.
1.1 System Requirements
․One or more PCs (desktop or notebook) with Wireless interface
․Ethernet cables
1.2 Installation Instructions
Connecting this Wireless Access Point:
1. Make sure all systems are turned off, including this Wireless Access Point and
PC(s)
2. Connect one PC to this Wireless Access Point’s Ethernet port.
3. Connect its power adapter to the power jack on this Wireless Access Point. Then
plug the power cable into an outlet.
4. Power on your PC(s).
2 Configuring this Wireless Assess Point
In this chapter, it describes how to use the web management, a web browser-based utility that
allows you to remotely configure and manage this Wireless Access Point.
This Wireless Access Point’s default IP address is 192.168.1.253, you must set a PC’s IP
address in the same domain (e.g. IP:192.168.1.1, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0) and connect
this PC to the Wireless Access Point.
Open your Web browser and type the IP address http://192.168.1.253 and press <ENTER>.
Enter the User name and Password when prompted, the default User name is “root”, and the
default Password is “1234”.
2.1 Setup Wizard
After successfully accessing to the configuration web page, the setup status will be shown as
in the figure below.
This Wireless Access Point has a Setup Wizard to help you easily configure its settings.
2.1.1 LAN Interface Setup
The first step in Setup Wizard is LAN interface Setup. Users can change LAN IP address and
Subnet Mask here. Most Users will not need to change these values.
After typing in the IPAddress and Subnet Mask, click “Next” button. You will enter the Wireless
Basic Settings page.
2.1.2 Wireless Basic Settings
Following LAN interface setup is the Wireless basic settings page. Users can setup the items
below:
1. Operating band: 802.11B/G, 802.11G or 802.11B.
2. Operating mode: AP, Client, WDS, and AP+WDS.
3. Network type: when operating mode is “Client” mode, users can select the network type as
“infrastructure” or “Adhoc”.
4. SSID: The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, therefore, all wireless access
points/routers and all wireless devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the
same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
5. Channel Number: The number of channels supported depends on the region of this
Wireless Access Point.All stations communicating with this WirelessAccess Point must use
the same channel. (note: not supported in client mode)
6. Enable Mac clone: when operating mode is “Client” mode and only one Ethernet client
exists, users can enable this Mac clone feature to connect with the wireless station easily.
After all items are set, click “Next” button. You will enter the Wireless Security Setup page.
2.1.3 Wireless Security Setup
There are five encryption types: None, WEP, WPA(TKIP), WPA2(AES) and WPA2 Mixed.
Encryption: None
No encryption is selected.
Encryption: WEP
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. You may choose either 64-bit or 128-bit as the encryption key
and select ASCII or Hex as the format of input value.
Encryption: WPA (TKIP), WPA2 (AES) or WPA2 Mixed
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access. There are three WPA encryption modes - TKIP and AES and
Mixed.
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
Mixed: WPA2 Mixed mode operation permits the coexistence of WPA
and WPA2 clients on a common SSID. WPA2 Mixed Mode is a Wi-Fi
Certified feature. During WPA2 Mixed Mode, the access point advertises
the encryption ciphers (TKIP, CCMP, other) that are available for use.
The client selects the encryption cipher it would like to use and the
selected encryption cipher is used for encryption between the client and
access point once it is selected by the client. The access point must
support WPA2 Mixed Mode to use this option.
2.2 Status
The status screen is shown in the figure below.
This status page provides a brief read-only report for System, Wireless Configuration and
TCP/IP Configuration status. The data displayed may be changed depending on your current
configuration.
2.2.1 System status
This system status includes:
Uptime and firmware version.
2.2.2 Wireless Configuration
This Wireless Configuration status includes:
Mode, Band, SSID, Channel Number, Encryption, BSSID, and Associated Clients.
2.2.3 TCP/IP Configuration status
This TCP/IP Configuration status includes:
Attain IP Protocol, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and MAC Address.
2.3 Wireless
2.3.1 Basic Settings
The wireless basic settings include Band, Mode, SSID and Channel Number.
- Disable Wireless LAN Interface: check or uncheck (Enable or Disable).
- Band: This WirelessAccess Point can support three RF band: 802.11B/G,
802.11G and 802.11B.

access points/routers and all wireless devices attempting to connect to a
specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 characters.
- Channel Number: The number of channels supported depends on the region of
this Wireless Access Point.All stations communicating with this Wireless
Access Point must use the same channel.
