802.11g ProSafe™ Wireless Access Point WG302 Installation Guide Follow these quick steps to install your wireless access point. You can also consult the Install Assistant or the Reference Manual on the Resource CD for ProSafe Wireless Access Point. 1 Set up the WG302 Access Point Tip: Before mounting the WG302 in a high location, first set up and test the WG302 to verify wireless network connectivity. a. Unpack the box and verify the contents and attach the antennas. b. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. 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 WG302 to the PC (A). A d. Turn on your computer, connect the power adapter to the WG302 and verify the following: • The PWR power light goes on. • The LAN light of the wireless access point is lit when connected to a powered on PC. 2 Configure LAN and Wireless Access a. Configure the WG302 Ethernet port for LAN access. • Connect to the WG302 by opening your browser and entering http://192.168.0.228 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 for your network. b. Configure the wireless interface for wireless access. See the online help or "Understanding Basic Wireless Settings" section in the Reference Manual for full instructions. c. Test wireless connectivity using a PC with a wireless adapter configured according to the wireless settings you just set in the WG302, establish a wireless connection to the WG302. Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WG302 in your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original TCP/IP settings. 3 Deploy the WG302 Access Point a. Disconnect the WG302 and position it where you will deploy it. The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices. b. Lift the antenna on either side so that they are vertical. Note: Consult the antenna positioning and configuration information in the Reference Manual on the Resource CD for ProSafe Wireless Access Point. c. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WG302 Access Point to a LAN port on your router, switch, or hub. d. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in to a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN lights should light up. 4 Verify Wireless Connectivity Using a computer with an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter, verify connectivity by using a browser such as Netscape® or Internet Explorer to connect to the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your network. Note: If you cannot connect, see to Troubleshooting Tips in this guide or the Reference Manual on the Resource CD for ProSafe Wireless Access Point.
