The configuration process is as follows: · · Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Click the Setup button. 42 PC Configuration · · · · Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "Wireless ADSL Router". Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the "Wireless ADSL Router" location. 43 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide Macintosh Clients From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Wireless ADSL Router. Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings. Note: If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are: · · Set the Router Address field to the Wireless ADSL Router's IP Address. Ensure your DNS settings are correct. Linux Clients To access the Internet via the Wireless ADSL Router, it is only necessary to set the Wireless ADSL Router as the "Gateway". Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes. Fixed IP Address By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your configuration. · · Set your "Default Gateway" to the IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router. Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct. To act as a DHCP Client (recommended) The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows shell. Click the Edit button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data. To apply your changes · · Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available. OR, restart your system. Other Unix Systems To access the Internet via the Wireless ADSL Router: · Ensure the "Gateway" field for your network card is set to the IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router. · Ensure your DNS (Name Server) settings are correct. 44 PC Configuration Wireless Station Configuration This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless ADSL Router's Access Point, regardless of the operating system which is used on the client. To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless ADSL Router, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows: Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc) Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode. SSID (ESSID) This must match the value used on the Wireless ADSL Router. Wireless Security By default, Wireless security on the Wireless ADSL Router is disabled. · · If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless ADSL Router, all stations must have wireless security disabled. If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router (either WEP or WPA-PSK), each station must use the same settings as the Wireless ADLS Router. Wireless Configuration on Windows XP If using Windows XP to configure the Wireless interface on your PC, the configuration procedure is as follows: 1. (Start - Settings - Network Connections). Figure 33: Network Connections (Windows XP) 2. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection, check that it is enabled (menu option says Disable, rather than Enable) and then select View Available Wireless Networks. You will then see a list of wireless networks. 45 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide Figure 34 Wireless Networks (Windows XP) If the "Broadcast SSID" setting on the Wireless ADSL Router has been disabled, its SSID will NOT be listed. [. . . ] If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WPA PSK (Pre-shared Key) Encryption Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived from this key. Another widelysupported method is AES. 98 Appendix B - About Wireless LANs WPA-802. 1x This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802. 1x standard. If this option is used: · · The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. [. . . ]
