What’s next?
Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and access some wireless clients. After
you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and
fine-tune by modifying advanced configuration features.
Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN
If you configured the access point and administrator computer by connecting both into
a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is
to test some wireless clients.
To test wireless clients:
1 If you configured the access point using a direct wired connection with an Ethernet
cable from your computer to the access point, disconnect the cable from your
computer and the access point.
2 Connect a regular Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
3 Connect your computer to the LAN either through Ethernet cable or wireless client
card.
Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients
Test the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP by trying to detect it and associate with it
from some wireless client devices. (See “Wireless client computers” on page 11 in the
PreLaunch Checklist: Default Settings and Supported Administrator/Client Platforms for
information on requirements for these clients.)
Secure and fine-tune the access point using advanced features
After you have the wireless network up and running and have tested against the access
point with some wireless clients, you can add in more layers of security, add users, configure
a guest interface, and fine-tune performance settings.
