1

Set Up the WG602 Access Point

Tip:

Before mounting the WG602 in a high location, first set up and

test the WG602 to verify wireless network connectivity.

a.

Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part

of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.

b.

Configure the PC with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and

255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.

c.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the WG602 to the PC (A).

d.

Turn on your computer, connect the power adapter to the

WG602 and verify the following:

The power power light goes on.

The LAN light of the wireless access point is lit when

connected to a powered on PC.

Configure LAN and Wireless Access

a.

Configure the WG602 Ethernet port for LAN access.

•

Connect to the WG602 by opening your browser and

entering

http://192.168.0.227

in the address field.

•

When prompted, enter

admin

for the user name and

password

for the password, both in lower case letters.

•

Click the

IP Settings

link and configure the IP Settings

according to your network setup.

b.

Configure the wireless interface for wireless access. See the online

help or the

Understanding Basic Wireless Settings

topic of the

Reference Manual

on the

54 Mbps Wireless Access Point Resource

CD

for full instructions.

Note:

You must set the Regulatory Domain. It may not be legal

to operate the wireless access point in a region other than one of

those identified in this field.

Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy

the WG602 in your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the

PC you used in step 1 back to its original TCP/IP settings.

Deploy the WG602 Access Point

a.

Disconnect the WG602 and position it where you will deploy it.

The best location is elevated at the center of your wireless

coverage area.

b.

Lift the antenna so that it is vertical.

c.

Connect an Ethernet cable from your WG602 Access Point to a

LAN port on your router, switch, or hub.

Note:

By default, the WG602 is a DHCP client. If there is no

DHCP server in the network, the WG602 uses 192.168.0.227

as its IP address. If your network used different addressing, you

will need to configure the WG602 accordingly.

d.

Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug

the power adapter in to a power outlet. The power, LAN, and

wireless lights should light up.

Verify Wireless Connectivity

Using a computer with an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter with

the correct wireless settings needed to connect to the WG602 (SSID,

MAC ACL, WEP, WPA, etc.), verify connectivity by using a browser

such as Netscape

®

or Internet Explorer to browse the Internet, or

check for file and printer access on your network.

Note:

If you cannot connect, see the Troubleshooting Tips on the next

page or the

Reference Manual

on the

54 Mbps Wireless Access Point

Resource CD.
