Step 1: Installation Site Selection In general, the best location to place the WAP is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line-of-sight of all wireless stations. Ensure all stations are within the service range of the WAP. Step 2: Hardware Setup 1.Connect your wired LAN to the WAP via a 10Mbps connection using a Category 3 or Category 5 cable with a standard RJ45 connector (not a
crossover cable). This connection from your wired LAN would come from a hub or switch connected to your LAN or a cable/DSL router. 2.Connect the external power supply to the 5V DC socket on the rear panel of the WAP. Step 3: Install the Belkin WAP Manager Software 1.Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2.Access your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the CD-ROM icon in the "My Computer" window. Double-click on the "Setup" icon and follow the directions in the installation wizard. Step 4: Configure the Wireless-Equipped Computer(s) to Communicate with the WAP 1.Start up the wireless-equipped computer and configure the wireless-equipped PC to connect to an SSID of "WLAN" or "Any". 2.If not done already, configure the wireless-equipped PC to "Obtain IP Address Automatically". 3.Restart the wireless-equipped PC. Your Belkin WAP is now fully configured. To configure advanced features, please reference the Installation section.

Installation

Selecting an appropriate site for your WAP
Selecting an appropriate site for your WAP will ensure the best performance. First, a few rules of thumb: Avoid locating the WAP near metal objects such as appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washer/dryers. Keep in mind that your appliances may be on the other side of the wall in the area that you may be considering to locate the WAP. For best performance, locate the WAP as close to the center of the area that you will be covering. Keep in mind that radio waves radiate outward from the WAP in a circular pattern. Typical range is 100-150 feet indoors at 11Mbps. If the area you wish to cover is smaller than 200-300 feet wide, then locating the WAP in the center of the area becomes less critical. Normally, the higher that you locate the WAP, the better the performance and range will be. However, in an area such as an average-sized house or small office, height is less critical. Remember that many things can cause a degrade of the radio signal such as brick walls, metal-reinforced concrete, the metal housing of appliances, or even wiring in the walls.
Connecting the WAP to a cable/DSL router, Ethernet switch, or hub
1. Select a suitable site for your WAP. 2. Connect a CAT5 cable between the WAP and your cable/DSL routers 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 router, 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 Link 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.

Connecting to the WAP

To make any changes to the configuration of the WAP, you must connect to the WAP by entering a password. The WAP is password-protected to keep unauthorized users from changing settings. 1. Click on "Command" and select "Connect AP" in the drop-down menu.
2. The "Input Password" window will appear. Your WAP ships from the factory with the password set to "MiniAP". Keep in mind that the password is casesensitive, and enter the password. Password = "MiniAP" (case-sensitive)
3. When connected, the word "Connected" will appear under the column labeled "State". If you cannot connect, see the troubleshooting tips at the end of this manual.

Programmable Parameters

AP Name The AP Name is used to help identify an WAP when multiple APs are being used. For instance, in a large building using 20 APs, the names may be "AP 1:WEST ROOM", or in a large house, "AP 5:Kitchen". To enter a name, click in the name field and enter a name. When finished making changes, click "Save" for the changes to take effect. SSID The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is like a name for the wireless network and is sometimes called the "Network Name". All WAPs in a wireless network should be set to the same SSID to enable clients to roam from WAP to WAP. The wireless-equipped computers in the wireless network should also be set to the same SSID to gain access to the network. The default setting is "WLAN" (Wireless Local Area Network). To change the SSID, simply click in the SSID field and enter a new SSID. When finished making changes, click "Save" for the changes to take effect. Channel The 802.11b wireless standard supports up to 14 channels. The number of available channels are limited to local regulations that determine which channels are available. (FCC/IC: Channels 1-11; ETSI: Channels 1-13; France: Channels 10-13; Spain: Channels 10-11; MKK: Channels 1-14.) The default channel is 11. To change the channel, click the UP/DOWN arrows next to the channel field. When finished making changes, click "Save" for the changes to take effect. RTS Threshold This is the rate at which errors are checked. We recommend not changing this.

IP Address An IP address can be manually entered. The default IP address is 192.168.0.254. To enter the IP address, click in the IP Address field and enter the IP address. Subnet Mask A Subnet Mask can be manually entered. The default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. To enter the Subnet Mask, click in the Subnet Mask field and enter the Subnet Mask. Default Gateway A Default Gateway address can be manually entered. The Default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0. To enter a Default Gateway address, click in the Subnet Mask field and enter the Default Gateway address. DHCP Client The WAP can obtain an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information automatically in a dynamic network environment. The default setting is "Enabled". If the WAP is connected to a network that does not employ DHCP, the default IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway will be used. To enable or disable the DHCP Client, click on the down arrow and select "Enabled" or "Disabled". When finished making changes, click "Save" for the changes to take effect.

Security

The WAP features some methods of keeping your wireless network secure. Using these methods can greatly increase your security and peace of mind. Method 1: Encryption For secure data transmissions, the Belkin WAP is capable of encrypting, or "scrambling", the information that is sent over the air between your computers. The WAP uses a form of encryption called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). There are two levels of WEP encryption64-bit and 128-bit. As the numbers imply, 128-bit encryption is more secure than 64bit encryption. However, using 128-bit encryption can slow down the rate at which data is sent between the wireless-equipped computers and the WAP. WEP encryption uses keys to scramble and unscramble the data that is being sent between wireless-equipped computers and the WAP. The
WAP and the computers must use the same key to be able to communicate using encryption. For more information, go to the section called Using WEP Encryption. Method 2: MAC Address Filtering The WAP can be programmed with a list of MAC addresses that are allowed to connect to the WAP. A MAC address is a unique "serial number" that is assigned to every wireless adapter. For instance, if you own a Belkin F5D6020 Wireless Notebook Network Adapter for your laptop, it has been assigned its own MAC address at the factory. The MAC address is located on a small sticker on the bottom of the product. Programming the WAP with this MAC address and enabling the MAC address filtering feature lets you manage which computers are allowed to connect to the WAP. Using WEP Encryption In the Configuration menu, click "Encryption". The following screen will appear. Select 64-bit from the drop-down menu. You will notice when using 64-bit encryption, there are four keys labeled "Key 1" through "Key 4". Only one key can be used at a time. Keys can be entered manually, but for ease-of-use, the software can generate keys using a "passphrase" that you enter. This passphrase can be easily distributed to wireless-equipped computer users in your network. For instance, creating a key using the passphrase "Passphrase" generates four keys in 64-bit encryption mode and one key in 128-bit encryption mode. Users of laptops need only to enter the passphrase and the key number into their computers wireless management software to be able to communicate while using encryption. All computers on the network must use the same encryption rate and passphrase. The passphrase can be changed as often as desired.

Setting 64-bit Encryption 1. Select 64-bit from the drop-down menu. 2. Select "Create with Passphrase". 3. Enter a passphrase and click "Apply". 4. Select the "Default Key ID" from the drop-down menu. These are labeled 14. Click "Apply". 64-bit encryption is now enabled in the WAP. Each wireless-equipped computer (client) that needs to communicate with the WAP must be set to the same encryption settings. Setting 128-bit Encryption 1. Select 128-bit from the drop-down menu. 2. Select "Create with Passphrase". 3. Enter a passphrase and click "Apply". 128-bit encryption is now enabled in the WAP. Each wireless-equipped computer (client) that needs to communicate with the WAP must be set to the same encryption settings.
Using MAC Address Filtering 1. To set up the MAC filtering, click on "Command" and select "Set MAC Filter".
2. The MAC Address Filter screen will appear. The WAP comes from the factory with the MAC Address Filter disabled. To enable the filtering, select Enabled from the drop-down menu.
3. In the field next to "<<Add", type in the MAC address of the adapter you want to add to the list. Click "<<Add".
A total of 20 addresses can be entered into the WAP. To continue adding addresses, repeat Step 3 until finished. Click "Save" when finished. It is also possible to load a list of MAC addresses from a text file (.txt). Adding a List of MAC Addresses from a File 1. Click "Add from File". 2. Select a.txt file from the browsing window and click "Open". 3. The list of addresses will appear in the MAC Address window. 4. Click "Save".
Changing the Password 1. Select "Configure", then "Change Password". 2. Enter the new password, then confirm it. Press "OK". After changing the password, you will need to connect to the AP again. Resetting the WAP If the WAP stops working properly, performing a reset can solve the problem. From the main screen, select "Configure", then "Reset AP". The AP will reset itself. After resetting, you will need to connect to the AP again. Restoring Factory Default Settings To restore the factory default settings, select "Configure", then "Reload Default". The AP default settings will be restored. After restoring the defaults, you will need to connect to the AP again.

Wireless Networking Using 802.11b
To form a wireless network, two basic components are used. The first is a wireless adapter for a PC. This can be either a USB wireless adapter or a PCMCIA adapter. The adapter gives the PC wireless Ethernet capabilities. The second is a WAP. A WAP can connect to a wired LAN and allow the wireless PCs to be able to access the wired LAN. A WAP can be a standalone component or it can be embedded into a cable/DSL router, thus forming a wireless Gateway/Router. The uses of each of these types of products is outlined later in this article. Wireless networking is not very different from wired networking. There are only a few basic concepts one must grasp. There are two different ways to network computers using 802.11b. The first, and least used method, is the Ad-Hoc method, also known as Peer-to-Peer. The more commonly used method is called Infrastructure. Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) Ad-Hoc, or Peer-to-Peer, refers to a configuration where each computer in the wireless network communicates directly with another. An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a wireless adapter, connected directly via radio signals to form an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured to the same radio channel to communicate with one another. More than one Ad-Hoc network can exist in the same space if it is configured to operate on a different channel. There are a varying number of channels depending on the part of the world you are operating in. The US has 11 channels, Europe has 13 channels, and Japan has 14 channels. The following diagram shows a typical Ad-Hoc wireless LAN configuration.
Notebook Wireless Notebook Network Card PC with Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter
Infrastructure Mode The use of a WAP to connect a wireless LAN to a wired LAN is called Infrastructure. A WAP serves as a bridge between the wired and wireless network. Connecting the WAP to any port on the wired network will give wireless access to all wireless-equipped computers within its coverage area. A WAP is configured with a Service Set Identifier. This is a "name" that is given to the wireless network and is used by the wireless-equipped computers to access the wireless network. WAPs can also be configured to use encryption or grant access to computers with specific MAC addresses. A WAP also effectively doubles the distance that computers in the wireless LAN can be located from one another. This is because the WAP serves as a central point for routing of all the wireless network traffic between the wireless computers. Wireless-equipped computers networked together in Infrastructure mode form a group called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Up to 64 individual computers can exist at a single time in a BSS. This is due to the ability of the WAP to handle no more than 64 clients. The diagram below illustrates how the WAP will effectively double the distance between wireless-equipped computers in a BSS.

Basic Service Set (BSS)

The diagram below illustrates how a WAP acts as a bridge between the wireless BSS and the wired network.

PC with Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter
Roaming More than one WAP can be used to increase the wireless coverage in a wireless LAN. The diagram below shows two WAPs configured to extend coverage beyond that of a single WAP. The overlapping area of each BSS is called an Extended Service Set (ESS). When a wireless computer enters the ESS, the signal strength and link quality is evaluated by the computer and the computer chooses the WAP with the best quality signal and link. This activity is known as roaming. To configure WAPs to allow roaming inside of the wireless network, each WAP will be assigned the same Service Set Identifier (SSID). Strategically placing multiple WAPs around an office or inside of the home can extend the wireless coverage to the entire premise. The illustration below shows two Basic Service Sets overlapping to form an Extended Service Set.

RTS Threshold

Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. RTS/CTS mechanisms can solve this "Hidden Node Problem". If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. Wired Equivalent Privacy is based on the use of 64-bit or 28-bit keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic.

Wireless Access Point (WAP) An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on your home network. DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as belkin.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "belkin.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computer on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned. DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds. A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and switches, and move data around 100Mbps. IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers, separated by periods, that identify a single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8. Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem. Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. MAC stands for Media Access Control.

Troubleshooting

Problem Wireless users (clients) do not have access to the network through the WAP. Solution 4 Make sure that each wireless client is configured to the same encryption setting. 4 Make sure that each wireless client is configured to connect to the SSID of the WAP. 4 The default password is "MiniAP". It is case-sensitive. Make sure that you are capitalizing where necessary. If you have forgotten the password, see below for performing a reset. 4 Perform a manual reset. To do so, disconnect the power adapter. Use a thin metal object, such as a paper clip, to press and hold the button on the bottom of the AP. While keeping the button held down, reconnect the power adapter. Wait for about five seconds for the AP to restart. Note: Performing a reset will restore the factory default settings. All of your settings will be lost. The range is poor. 4 See Selecting an Appropriate Site for your Wireless Access Point in the Installation section of this manual.
