Determine your network knowledge
The success of the installation of your AccessPoint and wireless clients is largely inde-
pendent of your technical skills. The more advanced and familiar you are with networking
terminology, the more intuitively you will act. Beginners will need more support in learning
about their new networking equipment. Some chapters are therefore supplemented with
additional information, designed especially for beginners:
Define your network topology
Decide which PC and devices will be connected to your network
• PC
• Laptop
• PDA
• Printer with USB port
• Network scanner
• Network printer
• …
Ä See Chapter 4 ‘Hardware Installation’ to help you to connect these devices properly.
Prepare your PCs and devices to connect to the AccessPoint
Before an AccessPoint can be configured, an initial connection must be established.
Ä See Chapter 5 ‘Network Settings’ to guide you through the settings.
Install and configure the AccessPoint
Your AccessPoint needs to be configured to work properly with each of your networking
components and your Internet connection.
Ä See Chapter 6 ‘Configuration Examples’.
Ä See Chapter 8 ‘AccessPoint Configuration’.
Install additional features – for example, a printer server
The AccessPoint is equipped with a printer port, which is wireless-accessible by any user
in the network. Every PC equipped with a Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system
can access a USB printer connected to the AccessPoint without additional software.
