1: Introduction The Wireless 54Mbps A+G Dualband Access Point doesn’t just operate in wired network environments, it also upholds simultaneous IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b/g connections, as is often required in hotspots and other public Internet access deployment. The access point is designed to support state-of-the-art security standards such as the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol, the 802.1x authentication standard, and 64/128-bits Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.
Packaging Content Actual product appearance may differ slightly depending on the hardware version.
2: Hardware Setup The access point can be powered using either the power adapter, or the PoE * or IEEE 802.3af PoE. The installation process for the three options is described below. Option 1: Using Power Adapter to Supply Power Before attaching a pair of external antennas to the access point, take note of the ‘A’ marking on one of the two antennas. Connect the single-band G antenna to Ant-2 on the RIGHT. The antenna with the ‘A’ marking is the Dualband AG Antenna.
Insert one end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to any of the LAN ports (1, 2, 3, or 4) on the access point and the other end to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. PC Attach the power adapter to the main electrical supply and connect the power plug into the socket of the access point. Power on your PC. Notice that the Power and the corresponding port LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that connection has been established successfully between the access point and your PC.
Option 2: Using PoE to Supply Power PoE (Power-Over-Ethernet) can be used to power the access point. This accessory supplies operational power to the wireless access point through the Ethernet cable connection and is available separately. If you wish to use PoE to supply power to the access point, follow the steps below: Follow the steps described in Option One. Connect one end of an RJ45 Ethernet cable to LAN OUT port of the PoE Injector and the other end to Port 4 of the access point.
Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable attached to the PoE Injector to your PC’s Ethernet network adapter. Once you have finished configuring the access point, you can connect the PoE Injector’s RJ45 Ethernet cable to your network device, such as a switch or a hub. Connect the power adapter supplied in the PoE kit to the main electrical supply and the power plug into the socket of the injector. Note: DO NOT interchange the access point and PoE power adapters. The voltage and current supply is incompatible.
Turn on your power supply. Notice that the Power LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that the access point is receiving power through the PoE Injector. Notice also that the Port 4 LEDs have lighted up. This indicates that connection between the access point and your PC has been established.
3: Access to Web Interface There are 2 methods to access the web interface of the access point: 1. Access to the Web Interface Through Utility – uConfig Access the web interface directly without having to change the IP address of your PC. 2. Access to the Web Interface Through web browser 1. Assign an IP address to your PC so that it is in the same subnet as the access point. (Example: 192.168.168.xxx where x can be any value from 2 to 254) 2.
Access to the Web Interface Through Utility - uConfig The powerful uConfig utility provides convenient access to the web configuration page. Insert the Product CD into your CD-ROM drive. From the Utilities section, select to install the uConfig utility to your hard disk. After installation, double-click on the uConfig icon. The following screen will appear, click on the Yes button to proceed.
Select the access point in the products list section and click on Open Web button. To update and display the available device(s) in the list, click on the Refresh button.
This screen prompts you not to exit your uConfig program while accessing to your web interface, or else you will fail to connect to your device. Click on the OK button to proceed. At the authentication page, click on the LOGIN! button to enter the main configuration page. The default password is “password”.
You will then reach the home page of the access point web interface. Note: Refer to User’s Manual for detailed instructions on configuring the access point for wireless access. Access to the Web Interface Manually To access the web interface manually, you need to configure the TCP/IP of your PC. Refer to User’s Manual Chapter 4: Accessing the Web Interface for details.
