1Connecting the Access Poing (AP)
Prior to connecting the hardware, make sure to power off
your Ethernet device, Cable/ADSL modem and AP. Then
follow the steps below to connect the related devices.
Step 1 Connecting the power adapter.
Connect the single DC output connector of the power adapter
to the power jack on the back of the AP. Then connect the
supplied power cord to the power adapter and the other end to
an AC outlet.
Step 2 Connecting to Ethernet network.
Attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to
your hub, switch or a PCs Ethernet port, and the other end to
the LAN port of your AP.
Setting Up Ethernet/WLAN Client
2
You can choose to access the APs Web interface via Ethernet or
wireless network. Whatever your choice, you must properly
configure the network settings of your PC to be in the same
subnet with the AP. As the AP is shipped with these defaults:
Step 1
Click the Start button. Select Settings and/or click the Control
Panel icon.
For Windows 98 and ME, double-click the Network icon.
For Windows 2000, double-click the Network and Dial-up Con-
nections icon. Double-click the Local Area Connection x.

Area Connection x under LAN or High-Speed Internet.
Model # RT211W
•IP address: 192.168.1.1
•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
•DHCP server: Disabled
Therefore, you should configure your PC’s TCP/IP settings to use
a static IP as below:
•IP address: 192.168.1.x (x is between 2 and 254)
•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
•Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Note: Before you change the TCP/IP configuration, you should write
down your original configuration setting in case you need to restore it
later.
Note: snap shots are for Windows 2000 and XP
Step 2
For Windows 98 and ME,
Select “TCP/IP -> Your
Ethernet Adapter”, Click the
Properties button. Go to step
4
For Windows 2000 and XP,
click the Properties button in
the Local Area Connection
Status window.
Step 3 For Windows 2000 and XP
only, Make sure the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked and
highlighted in the Local Area
Connection Properties window.
Click the Properties button.
Step 4
For Windows 98 and ME, select
Specify an IP adress and fill the
fields below with the values
mentioned above in theTCP/IP
properties window.
For Window 2000 and XP, select
Use the following IP address and
fill the fields below with the values
mentioned above in theInternet
protocol (TCP/IP) properties
window.
Step 5 Click the OK button and restart the computer. Continue on back...
If you choose to manage the AP via a wireless client, please also check
the following:
1. Make sure your PC is equipped with 802.11g or 802.11b wireless
adapter and has appropriate WLAN card driver / utility and TCP/IP
installed.
2. Set the wireless adapter to use appropriate TCP/IP settings as
described in previous section
3. Launch the wireless adapter’s provided utility and verify that your
wireless client is configured with these settings:
•Operation Mode: Infrastructure
•SSID: 11g AP
•Authentication: Open
•WEP Mode: Disabled
Checking the Connection to the AP
3
After configuring the TCP/IP protocol, you can use the ping command
to verify if your LAN/Wireless computer has successfully connected to
the AP.
To execute ping command, open the DOS window by clicking on
Start -> Run. In the Run window, type Command. At the DOS prompt,
type the following command:
ping 192.168.1.1
If the Command window returns something similar to the following:
Reply from 192.168.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253
Then the connection between the AP and your computer has been
successfully established. If the computer fails to connect to the AP, the
Command window will return the following:
Request time out
Veryfy your computer's network settings are correct and check the cable
connection between the AP and the computer.
Accessing the Web-Based Configuration Utility
4
Step 1 Start your Web browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the URL
field. This is your AP's default private IP address.
Step 2 After connecting to the
device, you will be prompted to
enter the username and password.
Leave the username empty and
enter the default password as
admin.
Step 3 The Web-Based utility will appear with the System Overview
table selected.
5LAN Configuration
Click the LAN page link to configure the LAN interface.
Manually Specifying an IP address
If you want to reconfigure the IP information of the AP to match your
existed LAN, just pick one available IP address and the same Subnet
Mask and Default Gateway for your LAN. Enable the Manual Config
option and enter your new settings in the provided fields.
Enabling DHCP Server
The AP implements a built-in DHCP server which can be used to
dynamically assign IP addresses to the DHCP clients on the LAN/WLAN.
To use DHCP server function, make sure you have properly set the AP’s
IP address, enable the DHCP service, then enter the DHCP Lease Time
and IP Pool Range fields.
Setting the AP to be DHCP Client
If your network has already deployed a DHCP server, you should set
the AP to be a DHCP client. The AP will request an IP Address from
the DHCP server when rebooted or powered up.
After you enable the DHCP client option and apply the change, your
PC will lose the communication to the AP. Since the IP address
assigned to the AP could come from a large DHCP address pool, you
will need a third-party tool to identify the APs IP address.
Note: Changing the LAN settings may cause the PC from which you
configure the AP to lose the communication to the AP. To reconnect, you
will need to reconfigure your PC to use an IP address compatible with
the new IP address.
Click Wireless LAN(2.4G) to configure the wireless settings of the AP.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully configured your AP.
You should customize the SSID and Channel settings as needed. For added
security, you should enable WEP encryption and firewall following instructions
from the manual included in the CD.
The following describes the basic wireless configurations:
Access Point Name: The name used for identifying the Access Point.
SSID: Service Set ID. It uniquely identifies a logical network domain
name of your WLAN.
Network Type: An “Open” AP will periodically broadcast its SSID to
allow the wireless clients to recognize their presence. However, this
creates a security hole since any wireless station with SSID set to “any”
or got the broadcast may associate to your AP. It is recommended to
set this option to Closed to have your AP only accept stations whose
SSID are the same as this AP.
Country: Select the country where you use this AP. When the country
setting is changed, the AP scans only the legal frequency channels
allowed in that regulatory domain.
Channel ID: The radio frequency used for communication. Available
channels vary according to the regulations in the country you specified
in the Country drop-down list. Select a channel out of the available
cannels or use the default channel.
