1 Introduction
The Wireless Multi-Client Bridge is an Ethernet based Wireless Client Adapter. It
provides wireless connectivity when connected to an Ethernet port of a PC. It is a
driverless hardware, and does not require any driver/software to establish wireless
connectivity. With the factory default settings, right out of the box, when powered on,
it can associate with nearby Access Points automatically. It supports both Ad-hoc
and Infrastructure modes and is interoperable with all IEEE 802.11b Wireless Clients
and Access Points.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and
network configuration.

1.3 Applications
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list
describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic
buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the
installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-
recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a
temporary WLAN established and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can
access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where
frequently rearrange the workplace.
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small
network.
f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead
caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with
wireless LANs.
g) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for
mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
h) Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless
connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and
learning.

1.4 Network Configuration
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a
wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC
card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers
equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they
are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-
peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and
does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive
way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts
a network in ad-hoc mode.

b) Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this
mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via
the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet
network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of
independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively
doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below
depicts a network in infrastructure mode.

2 Understanding the Hardware
2.1 Hardware Configuration
RJ-45 Ethernet Connector – Provides 10 Mbps connectivity to a wired
Ethernet LAN.
Reset Button – By holding this down for more than five seconds, the unit
will reset to its factory default settings.
Power Supply Connector – Connects to the power adapter.
2.2 Hardware Installation
A. Configure your notebook or PC with a wireless LAN card.
B. For a wired LAN, connect your PC’s Ethernet port to the unit’s LAN port via
an Ethernet cable.
C. For WLAN, position the unit in a proper location.
D. Plug in the power cord into the power outlet.

3 PC Configuration
Follow the steps below in order to configure the TCP/IP settings of your PC.
A. In the Control Panel double click Network Connections, and then double
click on the connection of your Network Interface Card (NIC). You will then
see the following screen.
B. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on the Properties button.
This will allow you to configure the IP address of your PC. You will then see
the following screen.

C. Select Use the following IP address radio button, and then enter an IP
address and subnet mask for your PC. Make sure that the device and your
PC are on the same subnet.
D. Click on the OK button, your PC’s TCP/IP settings have been configured.
