User manual ZYXEL NWA-3100

[. . . ] 5 The Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen opens (the General tab in Windows XP). 6 Select Use the following IP address and fill in the IP address (choose one in the range 192. 168. 1. 3 - 192. 168. 1. 254), Subnet mask (255. 255. 255. 0), and Default gateway (192. 168. 1. 2) fields. 8 Click Close (OK in Windows 2000/NT) to close the Local Area Connection Properties window. 4 ENGLISH Close the Network Connections window. 2. 2 Log Into the Web Configurator Even though you can connect to the NWA-3100 wirelessly, it is recommended that you connect your computer to the ETHERNET port for initial configuration. 1 Launch your web browser. Enter 192. 168. 1. 2 (the NWA-3100's default IP address) as the address. If you cannot access the Web configurator, make sure the IP addresses and subnet masks of the NWA-3100 and the computer are in the same IP address range (see Section 2. 1). 2 Click Login (the default password 1234 is already entered). 3 Change the login password by entering a new password and clicking Apply. Be sure to record the new password and keep it in a safe place. 5 ENGLISH If you change the password and then forget it, you will need to reset the NWA-3100. [. . . ] The fields you fill in differ according to the type of security you select in the Security Mode field. This example uses WPA2-PSK security, in which all wireless clients must use the same preshared key to join the network. Ensure that all your wireless clients can use the type of security you set. If you have an IP address to use, select Use fixed IP address and enter it along with the subnet mask and gateway IP address. Click Apply. 9 ENGLISH 10 Change the wireless settings in the wireless stations to match those of the NWA3100. Refer to your wireless adapter's documentation. If you change the NWA-3100's IP address, you must use the new IP address when you next access the web configurator. The device is now ready to connect to your wired network. You can do this now, or once you have installed the hardware. If the wireless clients cannot access the wired network, verify that the IP address and the subnet mask of the NWA-3100 and the computers on the network are in the same range. If the ETHN LED is off, check the cables between the NWA-3100 and your computer or hub. 4 Install the Hardware 4. 1 Attaching Antennas When facing the front of the NWA-3100, the right antenna (main antenna) transmits and receives; the left antenna only receives. 1 Screw the antennas clockwise onto the antenna connectors on the sides of your NWA-3100. The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Make sure the antennas are securely screwed onto the antenna connectors. 10 ENGLISH 4. 2 Hardware Mounting In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better performance, mount the NWA-3100 high up in an area that is free of obstructions. Free-standing Lie your NWA-3100 on a flat, level surface (a desk or shelf, for example) that is strong enough to support the weight of the NWA-3100 with connection cables. 1 Screw two screws (not included) into the wall 60mm apart (see the figure in step 3). Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall. The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the NWA-3100. Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the NWA-3100 with the connection cables. 2 Adjust the cables. Run the connection cables down the back of the NWA-3100 as shown in the following figure. OR: Run the connection cables upward and along the edge of the ceiling. 11 ENGLISH 3 Align the holes on the back of the NWA-3100 with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA-3100 on the screws. 5 Set Up Power Over Ethernet (Optional) Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability to provide power to your NWA-3100 via an 8-pin CAT 5 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a nearby power source. A PoE injector (not included) is also needed to supply the Ethernet cable with power. This feature allows increased flexibility in the location of your NWA-3100.
