Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide 1

Information about Wireless Networks

A wireless network in a LAN environment, also called wireless

LAN (WLAN), is network that does not use network cables.

When a WLAN uses access points, the wireless network is

operating in infrastructure mode. In this mode, a client sends

and receives information through one or more access points.

The Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN adapter operates with

Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN access points and IEEE

802.11b compliant access points sold by other vendors.

An access point is a stationary device on an 802.11 wireless

network that receives and retransmits data. An access point

allows computers with wireless network adapters, also called

wireless clients, to be connected to typically an Ethernet

network. The Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point

is displayed in the figure below.

Identifying a WLAN

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) identifies a WLAN. There are

several kinds of SSIDs. For simplicity, this guide uses the term

Network Name (SSID) in place of other terms such as ESSID

and IBSSID. For either an infrastructure or peer-to-peer

WLAN, the SSID indicates what WLAN you are

communicating with. When installing a wireless adapter, the

software asks you to enter this information. All devices in a

WLAN must use the same Network Name (SSID).

Security

In a WLAN, wireless clients send and receive information

through the air. Without implementing security, it is possible

for an unauthorized person to intercept the information.

Information about Wireless Networks

2Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide

A common way of implementing security and protecting

information is encryption. Before sending information over a

WLAN, the wireless device uses an encryption key to scramble

information before it is transmitted over a WLAN. The device

receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or

unscramble the information. It is only readable to WLAN

devices that have the correct encryption key. You must use the

same key and encryption method for all wireless devices in the

WLAN. Otherwise, they cannot communicate with each other.

The network administrator provides encryption keys, either

directly or from an external key management service. The

administrator must propagate any changes to these keys to all

access points and wireless clients in a WLAN. Changing the

key on just one access point or wireless client, and without the

authority to do so, disconnects it from the rest of the network.

There are two Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption

methods: 40/64-bit and 128-bit. To implement security, use

either one of these methods.

The Installation Steps

Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide 3

The Installation Steps

Step 1: Read about the Installation

To operate a WLAN in infrastructure mode, you must install an

access point. In infrastructure mode, a wireless client sends and

receives information through one or more access points.

The Steps Outlined

Step 2: Attach regulatory compliance labels.

Step 3: Install the hardware for the Intel®PRO/Wireless

2011B LAN Access Point.

Step 4: Access the main menu for the access point software.

Step 5: View and alter the settings in the Main Menu.

For steps 2 through 5, read the subsection entitled “Before You

Start.”Failure to read this subsection could result in the adapter

not functioning in the network.

Step 2: Attach the Regulatory Compliance Label

A sheet of peel and stick regulatory compliance labels are

shipped with the adapter. Follow the directions on the sheet and

affix the appropriate label to the adapter.

Step 3: Install the Hardware

Before You Start

In this step, install the access point. If the access point is

already installed, skip this step and proceed to step 2.

Installation Requirements

The location of each access point must be:

•Dry and dust free. Install in wet or dusty areas only with

additional protection.

•Between 0°C (32°F) and 55°C (130°F).

The Installation Steps

4Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide

Mount the Access Point

Access point coverage is similar to lighting in that an area lit

from far away might not be bright enough. Uniform access

point placement provides even, efficient coverage. Position

each access point using the following guidelines:

•Install the access point as high as practical.

•Orient the access point’s antenna vertically for best

reception.

Decide how you want to mount the access point. There are

three options.

•Resting the access point flat

•Attaching the access point to a wall

•Mounting the access point to the ceiling grid

If you are resting the access point flat, it rests on four rubber

pads on its underside. Place on a surface clear of debris and

away from office traffic.

If you are attaching the access point to a wall, use the mounting

kit provided.

Position the Antennas

The access point contains a dual antenna assembly providing

diversity, improved performance, and increased signal strength

over single antenna applications. If the access point is attached

to the ceiling, point the antennas downward.

Connect the Network

Locate the connector for Ethernet on the back of the access

point. Plug the 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable into the

connector. Ethernet configurations vary according to the

environment.

If you are connecting the access point to a hub, connect the

access point to a wired UTP Ethernet hub. Normal 10Base-T

limitations apply.

If you are connecting the access point to an Ethernet switch,

ensure that the switch port parameters are set to 10 Mbps Half

Duplex. Severe performance degradation may result from

mismatched speed or duplex mode.

The Installation Steps

Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide 5

Connect the Power

The power adapter connects to the rear of the access point and

to a power outlet.

1. Verify that the power adapter matches the country-of-use

requirements.

2. Plug the power adapter cable into the socket at the back of

the access point.

3. Plug the adapter into an outlet. The access point functions

without user intervention after setup.

If you are using an IIntel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Power

Injector, see the Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Power

Injector Quick Installation Guide for more installation

instructions.

Check the LED Indicators

Check the LED indicators to verify that the unit is functioning

correctly. Although there are six LEDs, only three are

operational. The three indicators shown left to right are:

Power LAN Wireless

After the access point is initialized, the LEDs should behave as

follows.

•The power LED should be lit.

•If the access point is connected to a LAN through an

Ethernet cable, the LAN LED should be blinking.

•If the access point is communicating with a wireless

adapter, the Wireless LED should be blinking steadily. The

Wireless LED blinks faster when the access point is

sending or receiving information from a wireless adapter.

If the access point fails to initialize, restart the access point by

disconnecting and reconnecting the power.

The Installation Steps

6Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide

Step 4: Access the Access Point Main Menu

Before You Start

In this step, configure each access point. First, open the Access

Point Main Menu, and then view or alter the configuration

values. An example of a configuration value is the access

point’s Network Name (SSID). This setting is also called an

ESSID or Net_ID.

Open the Access Point Main Menu

To open the Access Point Main Menu, use one of three

methods based on the network environment. The methods to

choose from are:

•Use a Direct Serial Connection.

•Use a Telnet Connection.

•Use the Built-in Web Server.

This section briefly describes each method. For more detailed

instructions, refer to Chapter 2 in theIntel®PRO/Wireless

2011B LAN Access Point Product Reference Guide.

If you are using the Telnet or Built-in Web Server method, you

must determine the IP address of the access point first.

Determining the IP address: By default, the access point’s

factory DHCP default setting is Enabled. If the access point is

connected to a DHCP server, contact your network

administrator to find the access point’s IP address. Otherwise,

the default IP address is 192.0.2.1.

To Use a Direct Serial Connection

1. Attach a female-to-female nine-pin serial cable from the

serial port on a computer to the Access Point 9-pin serial

connector. You must purchase the null modem serial cable

separately.

2. Launch Hyper Terminal or another serial communications

program on the computer.
