Configuring the EtherBridge Adapter

The EtherBridge adapter can be configured from either the EtherBridge

Configuration Utility (supplied on the TROY EtherBridge Installation CD

that came with the product and downloadable from www.troygroup.com),

or by using a standard Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape

Navigator).

Installing the EtherBridge Utility

1. Insert the EtherBridge Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of your

Windows-based computer. The CD should start automatically on

any Windows 95 or later PC, and then display a top-level menu.

2. Click on EtherBridge Utility Setup, and follow the on-screen

instructions to install the EtherBridge Utility.

3. After the installation is complete, start the EtherBridge Utility from the

Windows Start menu (Start, Programs, TROY Group, EtherBridge,

EtherBridge Utility), and it will search for all available EtherBridge

adapters on the network.

4. Select the EtherBridge you want to configure. Enter the password

(the default password is access using all lower-case letters), and

then click on the Login button. You should now be able to configure

the EtherBridge.

EtherBridge Utility Menus

The EtherBridge Utility provides five main menus (INFO, SECURITY,

STATUS, AP BROWSER, and ABOUT) to assist you with monitoring

and configuring the Etherbridge adapter. The following are brief

descriptions of each available menu.

Info

This menu item displays the current EtherBridge settings such as ESSID,

adapter name, rate, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

ESSID

The ESSID is a unique ID used by access points and client stations

to identify a wireless LAN. Wireless clients associating to any

access point must have the same ESSID. The default ESSID is

“ANY”, which will connect the EtherBridge to the nearest access

point. The ESSID can have up to 32 characters.

NAME

Assign a unique name for the EtherBridge Adapter. The default

name is EtherBridge.

RATE

The EtherBridge provides various data rate options for you to select.

Data rates options include 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps,5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps,

and Auto.In most networking scenarios, the factory default “Auto”

setting will usually provide the most efficient data rate.

IP ADDRESS

Assign an IP address to your EtherBridge if you wish to configure it

via the Web Browser interface. Consult your network administrator

to obtain an available IP address (the default IP address is

192.168.1.1). For further setup, please refer to the following section.

SUBNET MASK

Assign a subnet mask to your EtherBridge if you wish to configure it

via the Web Browser interface. Consult your network administrator

to obtain the correct subnet mask to use.

User’s Guide

Document #40177-100 Rev. A 7

DEFAULT GATEWAY

Assign a default gateway to your EtherBridge if you wish to configure

it via the Web Browser interface. Consult your network administrator

to obtain the correct default gateway to use.

PASSWORD

It is highly recommended that you assign a new password to your

EtherBridge for security. Enter the new administrator password you

would like to use in the New Password and Confirm Password

fields respectively. Passwords are case-sensitive and are limited to

a maximum length of 32 alphanumeric characters.

After setting the parameters, click on the Apply button to save and

activate the changes. To return to the previous page, click on the

Cancel button.

DEFAULT

Click on the Default button to restore the EtherBridge to factory

default settings.

Security

To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data

transmitted over the network, the Wireless LAN Smart Station Adapter

offers WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), which encrypts data transmitted

over the wireless medium.

Click on the Security tab to view the current security status of the

EtherBridge. Click on the Setup button to change the current security

configuration.
