Installation Procedure
This chapter will walk you through the hardware and Device Manager
Installing the Hardware
Perform the following steps to install the Wireless Access Point (AP).
1. If applicable, insert the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector (labeled "WAN") on the
AP to connect to a hub, router, cable or DSL modem.
2. Next, apply power to the AP by plugging in the power adapter supplied with the
evaluation kit. This completes the hardware portion of the installation.
3. The next step is to add the AP into the wireless network. There are three configuration
options of the AP:
l"Enroll" the AP in the network (Multimedia Mode only). Using the Network Management
application on a wireless active PC node to enroll the AP into the network.
lThe AP provides an SNMPv1 agent and the support for the standard IEEE 802.11 MIB and
proprietary extensions (MIB files are included in the evaluation CD). These objects can be
read and configured via a standard SNMP MIB Browser.
lAlternatively, read the below "Installing the AP Manager" to manually configure the AP
Access.
lWAN / LAN Port Application
WAN Port + RJ45 Cross Over Cable + ADSL or Cable Modem
LAN Port + RJ45 Normal Cable + HUB
Or
WAN Port + RJ45 Normal Cable + HUB (uplink port) or PC
LAN Port + RJ45 Normal Cable + ADSL or Cable Modem or Intranet
Note: When the correct cables are connected to the "LAN" or "WAN" ports, the "LAN" or
"WAN" LED indicators should be on. If you find the LED indicators still lightless, please
check if the cables are loose or out of order.

Installing the AP Manager
The Access Point (AP) can be manually configured using the "AP Manager". Follow the
below instructions to install this software.
1. Connect the APto a computer using the included USB cable. The computer does not
have to be a node in the network (any network or non-network PC can be used to run the
AP Manager software).
2. Windows will notify you with a "New Hardware Found" dialog box. Following this, the
Windows installation wizard will detect the AP.
3. Insert the installation CD into your CDROM drive and click "Next".
lWindows 98
-Select "Search for the best driver for your device", and click "Next". Specify to search
the CD Rom drives (check the box) and click "Next".
lWindows ME/2000
-Select the "Automatic Search" option and click "Next".
4. Windows will find the drivers located on the CD and begin to install them. This may take
several minutes.
5. When completed click "Finish". You will next be asked to reboot the computer. Click
"Yes".
Note: If the system does not shut down (or restart) within 2 minutes, manually power down the
computer and then power it back up.
6. After the restart, the software installation will continue automatically. Follow the
instructions on the screen to install the software. You will be asked some basic questions
including:
lAgreement to the (blank) license agreement
lYour name and company name
lSSID (This will be the SSID or network name immediately after installation, note that you
can always change this after the installation).
7. After the software installation you may be asked to reboot once more, after which the
installation is complete.
Important: On most systems it is necessary that you reset the AP after installation of the
software. At this time, reset the AP using the reset button or by "power-cycling" the
AP. You can now use the AP Device Manager.

Device & Network Management
This chapter will help you understand the device management, network management and
device management applications.
To manage the various devices on the network and the network itself, three software
applications are provided. Following is a short description of each application and its main
purpose.
lDevice Manager
-The Device Manager configures any client device located on the
computer (i.e. PCMCIA).
lNetwork Manager
-Network Management provides network information and statistics
regarding all devices on the network. This application is only
available when the network is operating in Multimedia mode.
lAP Device Manager
-The AP Device Manager allows for configuring the AP through the
USB cable.
The following sections describe these applications and their operation in greater detail.
