Introduction
This is an IEEE802.11a/b/g compliant 11 Mbps & 54 Mbps Ethernet wireless Access Point.
The wireless Access Point is equipped with five 10/100 M Auto-sensing Ethernet ports for
connecting to LAN and also for cascading to next wireless Access Point.
This Access Point provides 64/128bit WEP encryption, WPA and IEEE802.1x which ensures
a high level of security to protects users’ data and privacy. The MAC Address filter prevents
the unauthorized MAC Addresses from accessing your Wireless LAN. Your network security
is therefore double assured.
The web-based management utility is provided for easy configuration that your wireless
network connection is ensured to be always solid and hassle free.
Features
• Five LAN ports for Wireless AP cascade
• Support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
• Support AP client mode
• Support data rate automatic fallback
• Automatic channel selection
• Client access control
• Support 802.1x/Radius client with, TKIP, AES and TKIP_AES encryption
• Support IAPP
• Adjustable Tx power, Tx rate, and SSID broadcast
• Allow WEP 64/128 bit
Web interface management
• Support System event log and statistics
• MAC filtering (For wireless only)
• Support wireless 802.11 SNMP management
• WatchDog timer to warm boot system

Hardware Connection
Note: Before you start the hardware connection, you are advised to find an appropriate
location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for an Access Point is at the center
of your wireless network, with line of sigh to all wireless stations. Also, the higher the antenna
is placed, the better the device can perform.
1. Connect to your local area network: connect a Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet
port (LAN1~LAN5) of this wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch,
router, or another wireless access point.
2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the wireless Access
Point’s power port and the other end to a wall outlet.
3. Configure your PC: Make sure your local PC(s) has wireless network adapter(s)
installed.

About the Operation Modes
This device provides four operational applications with AP, Bridge, Client (Ad-hoc), Client
(Infrastructure) and Repeater modes, which are mutually exclusive.
This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box. If you want to
change the settings in order to perform more advanced configuration or even change the mode
of operation, you can use the web-based utility provided by the manufacturer as described in
the following sections.
AP Mode
When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only
the Access Point has the Internet connection.
Client Mode (Infrastructure)
If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it’s
connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless
interface.
Client Mode (Ad-hoc)
If set to the Client (Ad-hoc) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it is
connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless
interface. You can share files and printers between wireless stations (PC and laptop with
wireless network adapter installed).

Bridge Mode
You will be able to connect two wireless LANs together under the Bridge mode. This only
works with another wireless a/b/g Access Point. If enabled you must enter the MAC address of
that wireless a/b/g Access Point.
Repeater
You will be able to repeat the wireless signal of the root access point. When enabled you must
enter the MAC address of the root access point.
WISP (Client Router) mode
In WISP mode, the AP will behave just the same as the Client mode for wireless function.
However, router functions are added between the wireless WAN side and the Ethernet LAN
side. Therefore, the WISP subscriber can share the WISP connection without the need for
extra router.
