Chapter 2. Hardware Installation

2.1 Before You Begin

Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating

distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical

position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your

network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.

Typical ranges vary base on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in

your home or office.

For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to:

1) Avoid redundant obstacles and interference between the wireless devices.

2) Keep your AP away from appliances with a strong electric field or magnetic field, such as a

microwave oven or refrigerator.

Place the AP near the center of the area in which your computers operates.

2.2 Basic Requirements

z Use only the power adapter provided with your AP

z The electrical outlet shall be installed near the device and shall be easily accessible

z Place your AP in a well ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent

z Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation

z Turn off your AP and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid damage

z Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or

above

z Operating temperature: 0℃~40℃ (32℉~104℉)

z Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing

2.3 Connecting the Device

Figure 2-1 is an example of the typical application of iB-WAP150N in the infrastructure network.

An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router.

iB-WAP150N 150M Wireless-N Access Point

Figure 2-1

The above Figure 2-1 example of Infrastructure mode in Network Incorporates iB-WAP150N.

To establish a typical connection of the AP, please take the following steps:

1. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to a Router.

2. Locate an optimum location for the AP. The best place is usually near the center of the area in

which your PC(s) will wirelessly connect.

3. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good direction.

4. Connect the RJ45 patch cord from Router to Switch.

5. Connect the RJ45 patch cord from Switch to Access Point - Power on the AP.

6. Then you can connect a desktop PC or laptop to your network.

(Make sure your computer or laptop is equipped with a Wireless Adapter)

) Note:

If you are not so clear about how to connect your devices to the network, please refer to Appendix

A: Application Example.

iB-WAP150N 150M Wireless-N Access Point

Chapter 3. Configure the PC

This chapter will guide you to configure your PC to communicate with the AP. The wireless

adapter-equipped computers in your network must be in the same IP Address range without

overlap with each other. Manually configure the IP address as 192.168.1.xxx (“xxx” indicates IP

address between 1 to 253) the Subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, and the Default gateway as

192.168.1.254 for your PC by following the instructions below.

Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the AP and configure the IP address manually for your PCs.

1. Click Start (in the lower left corner of the screen), right-click My Network Connections and

choose Properties.

Figure 3-1

2. On the My Network Connections window shown as Figure 3-2 below, right-click LAN (Local

Area Connection) and choose Properties.

Figure 3-2

iB-WAP150N 150M Wireless-N Access Point

3. In the General tab of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, highlight Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Figure 3-3

4. Configure the IP address manually.

1) Select Use the following IP address.

2) Enter 192.168.1.* (* is any integer between 1 to 253) into the IP address filed, 255.255.255.0

into the Subnet mask filed and 192.168.1.254 into the Default gateway filed.

3) Click Ok to keep your settings.

Figure 3-4

iB-WAP150N 150M Wireless-N Access Point

5. Verify the network connection between your PC and the AP via the Ping command. The

following example is in Windows XP Operating System.

1) Click Start > Run tab. Enter cmd in the field and click OK.

2) Type ping 192.168.1.1 on the screen that displays and then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown as Figure 3-5 below, the connection

between your PC and the AP has been successfully established.

Figure 3-5

If the result displayed is similar to that shown as Figure 3-6 below, it means that your PC

has not connected to the AP.

Figure 3-6

Please check following these steps:

a) Check to see if your PC and the AP are right connected. The LED of LAN port which

you link to on the device and the LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit up.

b) Make sure the TCP/IP for your PC is right configured. If the AP’s IP address is

192.168.1.1, your PC’s IP address must be within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~

192.168.1.254.
