Chapter 1 Introduction

The WAP-2000, 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point is a high-speed wireless unit that

performs as a transparent Media Access Control (MAC) bridge between wired Local Area

Networks, and one or more wireless networks. It brings Ethernet-like performance to the

wireless realm. Placed anywhere along an Ethernet LAN, the WAP-2000 allows wireless

stations in their coverage area to transparently access the corporate network. Fully

compliant with the IEEE802.11(b) standard, the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point also

provides powerful features such as the Windows-based configuration utility, WEP security,

SNMP and more. The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point enables you to build a variety of

network configurations.

1-1 Features and Benefits

lProtocol-independent networking functionality

lAccess for mobile users into the legacy wired Ethernet LAN.

lSeamless connectivity to wired Ethernet and PC network LAN’s augments existing

networks quickly and easily.

lSupports up to 11Mbps data rate: T-1 line alternative/replacement that

dramatically cuts costs.

lWireless connection without the hassles and cost of cabling.

lGreater flexibility to locate or move networked PC’s

1-2 Applications

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN products offer a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless

client access to the network in applications like these:

1. Remote access to corporate network information

E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation.

2. Difficult-to-wireenvironments

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

difficult to deploy.

3. Frequently changing environments

Retailers, manufacturers and those who frequently rearrange the workplace and

change location.

4. Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time

C1- Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites where a temporary network will

be practical. C2- Retailers, airline and shipping companies need additional

workstations during peak period. C3- Auditors requiring workgroups at customer

sites.

5. Access to database for mobile workers

Doctors, nurses, retailers, accessing their database while being mobile in the hospital,

retail store or office campus.

6. SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users

SOHO users need easy and quick installation of a small computer network.

7. High security connection

The secure wireless network can be installed quickly and provide flexibility. (Please

refer to page 18 for encryption configuration.)

-3-

1-3 System Configurations

The 11Mbp Wireless Access Point can be configured in a variety of network system

configurations.

Wireless Infrastructure

In a wireless infrastructure, the 11Mbps Access Point acts as a bridge. The Access Point

connects the wireless clients together. The Access Point acts as a center point for all

wireless communications. This would increase efficiency of the communications since the

wireless adapters do not need to be within direct range of each other.

Wireless Infrastructure with Stations Attaching to a Wired LAN

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point will provide access to a your local LAN. An

integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of

wireless LAN PC users and anAccess Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each

wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any computer on your network via the Access Point.

Chapter 2Hardware Installation

This chapter describes initial setup of the Access Point.

2-1 Product Kit

Before installation, make sure that you the following items:

uThe 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point……………………x 1

uQuick Start Guide ……………………………….……………x 1

uPower Adapter……………………………………………..…..x 1

uManual…………………………………………………………x 1

If any of the above items are not included or damaged, please contact your local dealer for

support.

2-2 System Requirements

Installation of the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point requires:

1. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) which supplies the power for the Access

Point.

2. A 10/100 Base-T (UTP) Ethernet cable drop.

Note: (Only if you want to re-configure the WAP-2000 Access Point instead of using

factory default configuration…) A PC with an available RS-232C port runsthe

configuration program.

Back panel of the Access Point:

Power Socket

The power adapter plugs into the socket labeled “POWER”.

Ethernet Ports

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point supports two types of Ethernet ports: RJ-45 MDI

daisy-chain port (labeled “MDI”) and RJ-45 MDI-X station port (labeled “MDI-X”). To

connect the Access Point to a hub, use the MDI port; to connect the Access Point to a

computer/station, use the MDI-X port. Both connection ports are used with a straight-

through UTP cable.Please note that, these two RJ-45 ports cannot be used at the same time.

The four LEDs (100M/Link/Tx/Rx) next to the Ethernet ports indicate the Ethernet physical

link status. The ‘Link’LED is a good indicator for to see if you have proper Ethernet

connection.

RS-232 Port (Console Port)

The RS-232 port is used for configuring the Access Point. Use a null-modem RS-232 cable

when you desire to configure the Access Point under console mode. See the section “Access

Point Console”on page 7 for detailed information.

2-4 Hardware Installation

Take the following steps to set up your Access Point.

nSite Selection

Before installation, determine the Access Point location. Proper placement of the Access

Point is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You may use the Site

Survey and Access Points Browser utility (The utilities included with the wireless PC

Card) to choose a proper placement for your Access Point. Typically, the best location to

place your Access Point at your site is the center of your wireless coverage area. Try to

place your mobile stations within the line of sight. Obstructions may impede

performance of the Access Point.

nConnect the Ethernet Cable

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point supports 10/100M Ethernet connection.

Attach your UTP Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector on the Access Point. Then

connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a hub or a station. Please be aware that, use

the MDI port to connect the Access Point to a hub. Otherwise, please use the MDI-X

port to connect the Access Point to a computer/station.

nConnect the Power Cable

Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Access Point, and plug the other

end of the power into an electrical outlet. The Access Point will be powered on and all

five indicators on the top panel will flash in sequence to test the functionality of the

indicators.

NOTE: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Otherwise, the

product may be damaged.
