Enter Password: smcadmin (default). Click Login In.
Basic The Basic tab provides the following configuration options: Wireless Settings and Network Settings. Basic_ Wireless Settings The wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your access point. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless clients that you want to connect to your wireless network. To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features.
Enable Wireless This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the access point. When you set this option, the following parameters are in effect. Wireless Network Name When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name.
Example: 64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length. (12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.) 128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length. (456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption.) 64-bit ASCII keys are up to 5 characters in length (DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption.
Optional Backup RADIUS Server This option enables configuration of an optional second RADIUS server. A second RADIUS server can be used as backup for the primary RADIUS server. The second RADIUS server is consulted only when the primary server is not available or not responding.
Basic_Network Settings Access Point Settings These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the access point. The access point's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network.
DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN). Enable DHCP Server Once your access point is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network.
Primary WINS Server IP address Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information regarding network hosts, allowing hosts to 'register' themselves as well as discover other available hosts, e.g. for use in Network Neighbourhood. Secondary WINS Server IP address Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. NetBIOS Scope This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank.
Windows 2000 Windows XP Mac OS X Go to your Start menu, select Programs, select Accessories, and select Command Prompt. At the command prompt type ipconfig /all and hit Enter. The physical address displayed for the adapter connecting to the access point is the MAC address. Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network, and select the Ethernet Adapter connecting to the access point. Select the Ethernet button and the Ethernet ID will be listed. This is the same as the MAC address.
Advanced The Advanced tab provides the following configuration options: MAC Address Filter, Advanced Wireless, WISH, Wi-Fi Protected Setup Advanced_ MAC Address Filter The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
Advanced_Advanced Wireless Transmit Power Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area. Beacon Period Beacons are packets sent by a wireless access point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000.
DTIM Interval A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
Advanced_ WISH WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different applications. WISH Enable WISH Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize your traffic.
Priority Classifiers HTTP Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and video streams and prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital media players. Windows Media Center Enables the access point to recognize certain audio and video streams generated by a Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams are used by systems known as Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
