2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation

2. Decide where to place your Wireless Access Point

You can place your Wireless Access Point on a desk or other flat surface, or you can mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Access Point in the center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven.

This location must be close to power and network connection.

2. Setup LAN connection

a. Wired LAN connection: connects an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of the

LAN ports of this product.

b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this product at a proper position to gain the best transmit performance.

Figure 2-3 Setup of WLAN and LAN connections for this product.

4. Power on

Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this product will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase, the indicators M1 will be lighted ON for about 10 seconds, and then M1 will be flashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the

M1 will be continuously flashed once per second to indicate that this product is in normal operation.

To use this product correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/NT/2000).

3.1 Make Correct Network Settings of Your Computer

The default IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed on your need, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For example,

1. configure IP as 192.168.1.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.254, or more easier,

2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server of this product.

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to this product. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command

ping 192.168.1.254

If the following messages appear:

Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.1.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64 a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,

Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

There must be something wrong in your installation procedure. You have to check the following items in sequence:

1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?

Tip: The LAN LED of this product and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted.

2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?

Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, the IP address of your computer must be

192.168.1.X and default gateway must be 192.168.1.254.

4.6.4 MAC Address Control (Basic SettingÆ Wireless Setting)

MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address.

MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked.

Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless clients can connect to this device. If a client is denied to connect to this device, it means the client can't access to the Internet either. Choose "allow" or "deny" to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in the "Control table"

(please see below), to connect to this device.

Association control

Check "Association control" to enable the controlling of which wireless client can associate to the wireless LAN. If a client is denied to associate to the wireless LAN, it means the client can't send or receive any data via this device. Choose "allow" or "deny" to allow or deny the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in the "Control table", to associate to the wireless LAN.

Control table

23

AirLive WT-2000AP User’s Manual

"Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control" page.

Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected IP address mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table:

MAC Address

MAC address indicates a specific client.

IP Address

Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it empty if you don't care its IP address.

C

A

When "Connection control" is checked, check "C" will allow the corresponding client to connect to this device.

When "Association control" is checked, check "A" will allow the corresponding client to associate to the wireless LAN.

In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you to input the MAC address.

You can select a specific client in the “DHCP clients” Combobox, and then click on the “Copy to” button to copy the MAC address of the client you select to the ID selected in the “ID” Combobox.

Previous page and Next Page

To make this setup page simple and clear, we have divided the “Control table” into several pages.

You can use these buttons to navigate to different pages.
