HA DWA E CONNECTION

Note: Before you starting hardware connection, you are advised to find an

appropriate location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for the

Access Point is at the center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all

your wireless stations. Also, remember to adjust the antenna; usually the

higher the antenna is placed, the better will be the performance.

1. Connect to your local area network: connect a Ethernet cable to one of

the Ethernet port (LAN1 or LAN2) of this Wireless Access Point, and the

other end to a hub, switch, router, or another wireless access point.

2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the

Wireless Access Point’s power port and the other end to a wall outlet.

Check the LEDs:

The Power and LAN # LEDs should be ON. LAN# LED will even blink if there is

traffic.

The Link/Act LED will be on in static when associated with a station and blink

whenever this AP receives data packets in the air.

If the Status LED glows after self-test , it means this Wireless Access Point

fails on self test. Please ask your dealer for technical support.

3. Configure your PC: Make sure your local PC(s) has wireless network

adapter installed.

About the Operation Modes

This device provides four operational applications with Access Point, Bridge,

Client (Ad-hoc) and Client (Infrastructure) modes, which are mutually

exclusive.

This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box. If

you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced

configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-

based utility provided by the manufacturer as described in the following

sections.

Access Point Mode

When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations

(PC/notebook with wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations

can have the Internet access if only the Access Point has the Internet

connection.

See the sample application below.

To set the operation mode to Access Point, please go to “Wireless 



Basic

Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow  to select AP mode.

WDS epeater Mode

efer to the illustration below. While acting as Bridges, AP1 (with Station 1

being associated to) and AP2 (with Station 2 being associated) can

communicate with each other through wireless interface (with WDS). Thus

Station 1 can communicate with Station 2 and both Station 1 and Station 2 are

able to access the Internet if only AP1 or AP2 has the Internet connection.

To set the operation mode to Bridge, please go to “Wireless 



Basic

Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow  to select AP mode. And

go to “Wireless 



WDS Settings” to enable WDS.

Client Mode (Infrastructure)

If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station

when it’s connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from

wired end to wireless interface.
