Introduction

Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Access Point with

Power Over Ethernet.

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

is ideal for small businesses that want to expand their

existing wired networks or create new wireless networks

for the workforce or guests. The Access Point features

RangeBooster technology that is compatible with

standard 802.11g but with a range up to two times further

and throughput up to 35% faster. Unlike ordinary wireless

technologies that are hampered by wireless signals that

reflect off walls, ceilings, and other objects, RangeBooster

usesthesemultiple signalswith twosmartreceiversateach

end (router or access point and client adapter) to boost

range and throughput speeds. As a result, a RangeBooster

solution reduces or eliminates wireless signal dead spots

in offices and other buildings so users can connect to the

network in more areas. The Access Point comes with two 3

dBi antennas for increased power, also helping to extend

the range of the Access Point.

Advanced security features like Wi-Fi Protected Access™

(WPA2 Enterprise), make this solution ideal for business.

Integrated Quality of Service (QoS) features provide

consistent voice and video quality on both the wired

and wireless networks, enabling your workforce to

communicate or view video content without disruptions

and delay.

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet can

be powered from its included AC adapter or from a Power

over Ethernet (PoE) Switch via Ethernet cabling, enabling

mounting in ceilings or high on walls where power outlets

may not be available.

Additional features like Multiple BSSIDs,Wireless Roaming,

Auto-Channel Selection, and Load Balancing give your

business added flexibility to keep employees and guests

connected. The Access Point also features dual firmware

images so it remains functional if a firmware upgrade

process is disrupted.

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet is

Linksys One Ready. That means it includes the necessary

firmware for seamless integration into a Linksys One data

or data/voice network. Once connected, a Linksys One

Service Router will discover the Access Point, automatically

configure it and make it available to other users on the

network. Linksys One technology is automatic and self-

configuring.

Planning Your Wireless Network

Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 2:

Planning Your Wireless

Network

Network Topology

A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped

with one or more wireless adapters. Computers in a

wireless network must be configured to share the same

radio channel to talk to each other. Several PCs equipped

with wireless cards or adapters can communicate with

each other to form an ad-hoc network without the use of

an access point.

Linksys wireless adapters also provide access to a wired

network when using an access point or wireless router.

An integrated wireless and wired network is called an

infrastructurenetwork.EachwirelessPCinaninfrastructure

network can talk to any computer in a wired or wireless

network via the access point or wireless router.

An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility

of a wireless PC to a wired network, and may double the

effective wireless transmission range for two wireless

adapter PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data

within a network, the effective transmission range in an

infrastructure network may be doubled (depending on

antenna characteristics).

Roaming

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities

for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your

wireless PC within your network and the access points will

pick up the wireless PC’s signal, providing that they both

share the same wireless security and SSID.

Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio

channel and optimum access point position. Proper access

point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will

greatly enhance performance.

NOTE: Spanning Tree Protocol should be

disabled on the switches connecting to the APs

to allow roaming to work without disruption.

Network Layout

The Access Point has been designed for use with 802.11g

and 802.11b products, such as the Notebook Adapters for

your laptop computers, PCI Adapters for your desktop PCs,

and USB Adapters for either a laptop or desktop. These

wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g

or 802.11b Wireless Print Server.

To link your wired network with your wireless network,

connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any

switch or router.

Example of Simple Wireless Network

The above diagram shows a typical infrastructure wireless

network setup. The Wireless Access Point connects to a

Linksys switch that provides power to the Access Point.

The Access Point can connect multiple wireless devices

to the network. This network will provide connectivity

among wireless network devices and PCs that have a wired

connection to the switch. The switch then can connect to

a router that can connect to an ISP for Internet access.
