Making Connections
You can use your ASUS WL-HDD2.5 as an Access Point or as a
wireless network storage device in an existing WLAN. When the
ASUS WL-HDD2.5 is turned on, it searches for other existing Access
Points in its vicinity. If no other AP is found, it acts as an AP, while at
the same time allowing access to its hard disk drive. If an existing
WLAN and AP is found in the vicinity, it acts as a wireless shared
hard disk that can be accessed by other wireless clients in the WLAN.
AP Mode
In order to use the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 as an AP, it has to be con-
nected to a network hub for Internet access. Attach one end of the RJ-
45 Ethernet cable to the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 and attach the other end
to the RJ-45 port of a network hub, switch, router, or patch panel (rep-
resented by the INTERNET connection in the illustration).
