Awireless LAN is normally used in a predefined environment. In such a network,
Wireless Ethernet Adapters are mounted at assigned places, each covering its own
area in which wireless nodes can operate. These Wireless Ethernet Adapters are
connected to a wired network to communicate with each other and with servers
and clients on that network.
The 11MBPS Wireless Ethernet Adapter can be connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet
network through a RJ45 (UTP) connector.

2 Installation
1. Mount the Wireless Ethernet Adapter firmly on the position that is determined
during the site survey.
2. Insert the power connector.
3. Attach the Wireless EthernetAdapter to Ethernet network by using UTP
Ethernet cable.
At the front of the Wireless Ethernet Adapter you will see three LEDs.
If all goes well, the LED (Power) is red and the (LINK) and (ACT) LEDs flash
whenever there is traffic on the respective networks.
The Wireless Ethernet Adapter automatically selects the medium attached. When
the cable network is detected, the network LED will turn yellow.
Reset the Wireless Ethernet Adapter
If you press the reset button for more than four seconds, the Wireless Ethernet Adapter
will be reset to the default factory settings. All changes you made to the configuration will
be lost.
1.Insert one end of a paperclip into the hole for the reset button and keep it pressed for
more than four seconds. After about three seconds, the ACT LED goes from constantly on
to being blinking.
2.Release the reset button when the LED has gone off. All settings are deleted. You will
need to reconfigure the Wireless Ethernet Adapter.

When you do configure the Wireless Ethernet Adapter, you can change the
settings with respect to security, radio channels, etc.
The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP
Address within the same range as the IP Address of the Wireless Ethernet
Adapter.

4 Contents of Web Interface
The Web Interface application contains the following subjects:
4.1 Info Page
The Info window displays the current setup status of the Wireless Ethernet Adapter..
Communication Quality: Specifies the Communications Quality of the Basic
Service Set to which the station is currently connected.
The value for the field of this record is based on signal
level and noise level measurements.
Firmware Version. This indicates the Wireless Ethernet Adapter’s firmware
version.
8
Current setting of IP Address: The IP address of the wireless Ethernet adapter.
Non-IP MAC Address: The MAC Address of Ethernet port that bridging to
Wireless Ethernet Adapter.

4.2 Wireless Settings
The settings of the wireless device are displayed here, and you can edit some of
these settings.
Operating Mode: Infrastructure - is the default setting. Switch to Ad-Hoc mode
when communicating to another client device without the
presence of the Access Point.
SSID: The SSID is also known as Service Set ID. This is the name of your wireless
network. Only Wireless Ethernet Adapters and clients that share the same
SSID are able to communicate with each other.
Channel: This is the channel that the Wireless Ethernet Adapter uses to transmit
and receive information. The channel that you select here is restricted
to the channels that can be used within your Regulatory domain.
10
Tx rate: The transmit rate identifies the preferred data transmission speed of
the Wireless Ethernet Adapter. Transmissions at faster rates allow for higher
data throughput and quicker network response times. However, transmissions
at lower rates are usually more reliable and cover longer distances than the
higher rates.
Access Point Density: When connecting to the Access Point, it is generally
necessary to specify an Access Point Density. This
provides some control over handoff of clients during
roaming betweenAccess Points. Three values, Low,
Medium, and High
