On the start page, you can review all the settings you have made. Changes are highlighted in red. If they
are OK, click Restart to restart the advanced AP for the new settings to take effect.
NOTE: About 7 seconds are needed for the advanced AP to complete its restart process.
2.5 Deploying the Advanced AP
After the settings have been configured, deploy the advanced AP to the field application environment.
Connect Ethernet client computers to the Ethernet switch ports of the advanced AP.
2.6 Setting up Client Computers
The TCP/IP and IEEE 802.11b-related settings of wireless client computers must match those of the
advanced AP.
2.6.1 Configuring IEEE 802.11b-Related Settings
Before the TCP/IP networking system of a wireless client computer can communicate with other hosts,
the underlying wireless link must be established between this wireless computer and an advanced AP.
To establish a wireless link to an advanced AP:
1. Launch the configuration/monitoring utility provided by the vendor of the installed WLAN NIC.
2. Use the utility to make appropriate Operating Mode, SSID and WEP settings.
NOTE: A client must be in infrastructure mode, so that it can link to an AP.
NOTE: The SSID of the wireless client computer and the SSID of the advanced AP must be identical. Or,
in case the SSID broadcasts capability of the advanced AP is enabled (by default), the SSID of the
wireless client computer could be set to “any”.
NOTE: Both the wireless client computer and the advanced AP must have the same WEP settings for
them to communicate with each other.
2.6.2 Configuring TCP/IP-Related Settings
Use Windows Network Control Panel Applet to change the TCP/IP settings of the client computers, so
that the IP addresses of the client computers and the IP address of the advanced AP are in the same IP
subnet.
If a client computer is originally set a static IP address, the user can either change its IP address to match
the IP address of the AP, or select an automatically-obtain-an-IP-address option if there is a DHCP server
on the network.
NOTE: For some versions of Windows, the computer needs to be restarted for the changes of TCP/IP
settings to take effect..
2.7 Confirming the Settings of the AP and Client
Computers
After you have completed deploying the advanced AP and setting up client computers, you have to make
sure the settings you have made are correct.
2.7.1 Checking if the IEEE 802.11b-Related Settings Work
To check if a wireless client computer can link to the advanced AP:
