[. . . ] You can plug the Ethernet Converter directly to the configuring computer, but will have to use the manual configuration found on 'Page 8' of this Manual. Once the network cable has been plugged in, plug the Ethernet Converter's AC Adapter into an available power outlet. Then attach the power connector to the back of the Ethernet Converter. The boot up process takes 30 seconds and can be confirmed completed when both the Wireless and Ethernet lights are green. Return to the PC designated for configuration and insert the included Ethernet Converter CD-ROM into drive. the PC's CD-ROM The AirNavigator application should launch automatically. [. . . ] If it is set to 'No Encryption' then you are already connected to the wireless network, and you may skip to the last step on this page. If the Encryption Key option is set to 'Encrypt' then you will need to enter the correct encryption type and key and press the 'Apply Settings' button. The drop down menu references the type of encryption key used, either WEP, TKIP, or AES. It is important that you know not only your encryption key but also the type of key. Please consult your Router/Acess Point's wireless settings and documentation for further information. The 'Finalize Connecting' page will appear. The main Web Based Configuration page will now list the connection information in the 'Wireless Connection Status' table. 12 The Ethernet Converter configuration is complete. Disconnect the Ethernet Converter from the network connection and power adapter, and move it to the desired location. Plug the Ethernet Converter's LAN port into the wired device that requires the wireless Ethernet Converter (devices could be an XBox, PS2, Home Theatre Media Adapter, or another computer system). Plug the AC Adapter into a nearby power outlet and connect the power connector to the Ethernet Converter. Power cycle the network device that is connected to the Ethernet Converter. If you set a static IP address on your computer on 'Page 8', then reference the operating system documentation to restore the IP settings to obtain an IP Address automatically. For additional settings and features, please see the Ethernet Converter Manual located on the Ethernet Converter CD-ROM. 13 Advanced Configuration The Web Based Configuration also has several other settings to customize the way the Ethernet Converter operates. To access the Advanced Configuration settings, press the 'Advanced' button on the main Web Based Configuration page. On all advanced settings pages, the 'Apply Settings' button must be pressed anytime changes are made to a configuration page. Wireless Settings - This page contains the settings that affect the wireless communication of the Ethernet Converter. Multiple Client Support - The multiple client support feature allows a switch or hub to be connected to the Ethernet Converter, allowing multiple clients to use the Ethernet Converter as their wireless connection. Enabling this feature allows for this use, disabling allows for only one device to be used behind the Ethernet Converter. SSID - The SSID is the name of the wireless device the Ethernet Converter is connecting to. It can be typed in manually or it can be searched for by pressing the 'Search' button. Wireless Network Type - Select between the two wireless modes: Infrastructure (Access Point Based) or Ad-hoc (Client to Client). Wireless Channel - The channel will be automatically selected in Infrastructure networks. 14 Wireless Mode - The wireless mode only applies to Ad-hoc connections. If the Ethernet Converter is making an Ad-hoc connection with an 802. 11b client, then select '802. 11b' from the drop down menu. If an 802. 11g client is connecting to the Ethernet Converter then select the 'Auto - 802. 11g / 802. 11b' option. Basic Rates - The basic rate set only applies to Ad-hoc connections. Select the proper rate set for Ad-hoc client the Ethernet Converter is going to associate to. If you are unsure, it is recommended to leave this setting set to 'Auto'. Frame Bursting - Frame Bursting technology allows for quicker wireless throughput speeds by shortening the overhead in each wireless packet. It is recommended to leave it enabled, as having it enabled presents no disadvantages in most network scenarios. Wireless Output Power - The wireless output power setting changes the power of the Ethernet Converter's internal radio. Reducing the output power can often reduce interference with other devices. It is recommended to leave the output power set at 100% unless interference with other networks or 2. 4 GHz devices is apparent. Data Encryption - The data encryption table allows you to enter the necessary WEP or WPA settings into the Ethernet Converter.
