INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin 54g Wireless Network Access Point (WAP)

and welcome to the world of wireless networking. Now you can take advantage

of this great new high-speed wireless technology and gain the freedom you need

to share files among your home or office computers—without using cables. The

WAP acts as a bridge between your existing wired network and your wireless-

equipped computers. The easy installation and setup will have you networking

wirelessly in minutes. Please be sure to read through this manual completely to

be sure that you are getting the most out of your WAP.

OVERVIEW

Key Features

Wide Area Coverage at High Speeds

The Belkin WAP provides coverage over an indoor area up to 300 feet in radius

and outdoor area over 1,500 feet in radius.

Up to 128-Bit Encryption

Your Belkin WAP is capable of encrypting (scrambling) the transmitted radio

waves so you can be sure that your data is secure. The optional encryption

feature allows you to encrypt at 64-bits or 128-bits using a key that you

enter yourself.

MAC Address Filtering

For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client

identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its

own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the web-

based user interface and you can control access to your network.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The WAP supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS®

8.x, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT®, 2000, and

XP, and others.

Front-Panel Connected LED Display

Lighted LEDs on the front of the WAP indicate which functions are in

operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your WAP is connected to the

Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-

monitoring procedures.

Vertical or Horizontal Desktop Application

Your WAP can stand vertically on the desktop to save space, or lay down flat

on a shelf or under your modem. The included vertical mounting base lets you

decide how to position the WAP.

Web-Based Advanced User Interface

You can set up the WAP’s advanced functions easily through your web browser,

without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no

disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and

perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.

OVERVIEW

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support on-board makes for

the easiest possible connection to a network. Once the WAP is physically

connected to the network, it will attempt to get an address from a DHCP

server upon power up automatically so there is no need for a complicated

networking setup.

Applications and Advantages

•Economically connect multiple wireless computers to a network

•SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networking needs

•Provides the easy and quick small network installation SOHO users need.

KNOWING YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

The WAP has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or

horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the

desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the

rear of the WAP for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are

easily visible on the front of the WAP to provide you with information about

network activity and status.

Power Jack

Connect the included 5V DC power supply to this jack.

RJ45 Ethernet Jack

Connect an Ethernet cable to this socket, and connect to an open RJ45

10Base-T or 100Base-T port on a switch, hub, or WAP.

Reset Button

The “Reset” button is used in rare cases when the WAP may function

improperly. Resetting the WAP will restore the WAP’s normal operation while

maintaining the programmed settings. You can also restore the factory default

settings by using the Reset button. Use the restore option in instances where

you may have forgotten your custom password.

a. Resetting the WAP

Push and release the Reset button. The lights on the WAP will

momentarily flash. The Power/Ready light will begin to blink. When the

Power/Ready light becomes solid again, the reset is complete.

b. Restoring the Factory Defaults

Press and hold the Reset button for five seconds then release it. The

lights on the WAP will momentarily flash. The Power/Ready light will

begin to blink. When the Power/Ready light becomes solid again, the

restore is complete.

Rotatable Dual Dipole Antennas

Two unidirectional dipole antennas are located on the side of the WAP. The

antennas can rotate 360 degrees. The antennas should be oriented in the

vertical position for best performance.

PLACEMENT OF YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

Proper placement of your WAP is important to ensure the best performance of

your wireless network. Typically, indoors your WAP can provide a circular

coverage area of 250 feet or more. However, different types of construction

materials and other obstructions in a building can greatly affect the wireless

signal and decrease the range. Whenever possible, your WAP should be placed as

close as possible to the center of the area that you want to cover. In multi-story

homes, place the WAP on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as

possible; this may mean placing the WAP on an upper floor.

Use care when choosing the location of your WAP

•Be aware of appliances or large objects such as a refrigerator or

washer/dryer unit that may be on the opposite side of a wall from where

you decide to place your WAP.

•Place the WAP on top of a desk and away from metal cabinets and

computer cases.

•Do not place objects or components on top of the WAP.

•Make sure that both antennas are pointing UP at all times.

•Metallic-based UV window tint can affect wireless performance. Do not place

the WAP next to a tinted window.

We realize that in the real world, it may not be possible to place your WAP in

the center of your coverage area. In cases where you may experience difficulty

covering the entire area you want, try placing the WAP as high as possible.

Wireless devices work best in a line-of-sight situation where there are no

obstacles between the wireless computer and the WAP. The WAP may also be

mounted to a wall with the antennas facing UP. There are other options for

expanding your wireless coverage area. Visit www.networking.belkin.com for

solutions.

The wireless signal can be affected by many things including neighboring

wireless networks, microwave ovens in operation, and 2.4GHz cordless phones.

While these things can affect the network performance, your wireless network

typically will work fine under most conditions where these devices exist.

INSTALLATION

Connecting the WAP to a Cable/DSL WAP, Ethernet Switch, or Hub

Verify the contents of your box. You should have the following:

•Belkin 54g Wireless Network Access Point

•Vertical Mounting Base (optional use)

•Power Supply

•User Manual

1. Select a suitable place for your WAP.

2. Connect a CAT5 cable between the WAP and your cable/DSL WAP’s LAN

port, Ethernet switch, or hub by plugging one end of the cable into the

RJ45 jack on the WAP and the other end into an open RJ45 jack on the

cable/DSL WAP, Ethernet switch, or hub.

3. Connect the power supply to the WAP by plugging the round DC connector

into the DC jack on the WAP. Plug the power supply into the wall. Verify

that the Power LED and the LAN LED are illuminated. If both LEDs are

illuminated, this indicates that the WAP is connected properly.

4. Place the WAP on a desktop or mount it to a wall in the location that you

have chosen. Next, swivel the antennas so they are both pointing up.

5. Connection and placement of your WAP is now complete. Go to the

“Configuring the WAP” section to learn how to configure the WAP.
