What’s Next?
Next, make sure the access point is connected to the LAN, bring up some wireless
clients, and connect the clients to the network. Once you have tested the basics of your
wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune by modifying advanced
configuration features on the access point.
Make Sure the Access Point is Connected to the LAN
If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a
network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. That’s it—you’re
up and running! The next step is to test some wireless clients.
If you configured the access point using a direct wired connection via Ethernet cable
from your computer to the access point, do the following:
1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer and the access point.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the access point to the
LAN
.
3. Connect your computer to the LAN either via Ethernet cable or wireless client card.
Test LAN Connectivity with Wireless Clients
Test the D-Link DWL-2210AP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some
wireless client devices. (See “Wireless Client Computers”
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
Once 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.
4. Start Wireless Networking
Click the
Update
button to activate the wireless network with these new
settings. For more information, see “Update Basic Settings” in this manual.
Default Configuration
If you follow the steps above and accept all the defaults, the access point will have the
default configuration described in “Default Settings for the D-Link DWL-2210AP” in this
manual.
