Before installing your wireless access point, please take a few minutes to go through the wireless networking functions described in this section.
Access Point
LAN
pl
The access point connects to a wireless router or an Ethernet hub or server. You can roam roam within within the the range of the access point with your laptop or other mobile device to access the Internet or or corporate corporate system click for more info
sa m
Local Area Network. A local area network provides a full time, high bandwidth connection over a limited area such as a home, building, or campus. Ethernet is the most widely used LAN standard.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) comprises the backbone of the Internet. IP moves packets of data between nodes while TCP verifies delivery from client to server. The device you hook up to your wireless access point will identify itself with an IP address so that the network will know where to retrieve and deposit requested information.
Static IP Address
A static IP address is a fixed address that is assigned manually to a device on the network. Static IP addresses must be unique and cannot be shared; therefore they are used in situations where the address should never change, like print servers or PC servers.
Dynamic IP Address
A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP number, dynamically or randomly generated by a DHCP server. The address lasts only as long as the server allots, usually in the space of a day or two. When the IP address expires, the client is automatically reassigned a new IP address, ensuring smooth communication.

Why Access Point Access point (AP) is a standalone device that connects to a wireless LAN. It is a device that allows wireless communication devices to connect to a wireless network using Wi Fi, Bluetooth or related standards. AP usually connects to a wired network, and can relay data between the wireless devices (such as computers or printers) and wired devices on the network.
e
Access Point receives the signal from the base station. It connects to laptop or mobile device via USB, PCI slot, or Ethernet. Comparable to hubs in a wired network, an access point allows wireless devices to join an existing Ethernet LAN.
pl
Today's WAPs are built to support a standard for sending and receiving data using radio frequencies rather than cabling. The standards, and the frequencies used are defined by the IEEE. Most WAPs use IEEE 802.11 standards
Usage of Access Points
Wireless ISP: Internet Service Providers use Access Points to provide their customers with Internet service
sa m
Large Corporations, Metropolitan & Campuses: Organizations need a simple and flexible way to extend wireless connectivity to areas of an enterprise facility or structure where running Ethernet cable would be too difficult. Small Businesses or SOHO Health Care

pl
The fields are described in the following table:
e
The main objective is to bridge an interface between two systems and allow communication among host systems using IP. To configure any IP Address to a specific system, assign a unique IP address, subnet mask address and a default gateway address. Along with the basic IP parameters, specify the DNS (Domain Name System) Client information, which is considered as a primary factor to configure the IP address with their host names.
Description
Basic IP Parameters
IIP P Address is classified into two types, static and dynamic: A static IP address is a fixed address that is assigned manually to a device on the network. A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP number, dynamically or randomly generated by a DHCP server. It is a unique identifier assigned to every network device.

Troubleshooting
e
My computer is experiencing difficulty in connecting to the access point. Ensure that all of your cable connections are firmly connected. This includes the cables from the wall to your modem, cable connecting the router and modem and, if available, from the access point to your PC.
pl
My HTTP/Web Interface or Telnet Interface is not working. 1. Make sure you are using a compatible browser:
sa m
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 1 or later Netscape 7.1 or later 2. Make sure you have the proper IP address. Enter your Access Point’s IP Address in the browser address bar, similar to this example: http://169.254.128.132 When the Enter Network Password window appears, leave the User Name field empty and enter the HTTP password in the Password field. The default HTTP password is public.
3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which can be restricting access
to Telnet and HTTP.
I Cannot see Ethernet light indicator.
There might be a hardware connection problem. Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point and the network device (hub, switch, or router).

Appendix Access Point (AP) A device that provides wireless LAN connectivity to wireless clients (stations). Adapter A device or card that connects a computer, printer, or other peripheral device to the network or to some other device. A wireless adapter connects a computer to the wireless LAN. Crossover Cable A crossover cable is a cable that is used to interconnect two computers by "crossing over" (reversing) their respective pin contacts. A crossover cable is sometimes known as a null modem. Default Gateway A routing device that forwards traffic not destined to a station within the local subnet. DHCP A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server dynamically assigns IP addresses to client hosts on an IP network. DHCP eliminates the need to manually assign static IP addresses by .leasing. an IP address and subnet mask to each client. It enables the automatic reuse of unused IP addresses. DNS The Domain Name System is the Internet system for converting domain names (like www.proxim.com) to IP addresses. A DNS server contains a table matching domain names such as Internetname.com to IP addresses such as 169.254.125.114. Dynamic IP Address An IP address that is temporarily leased to a host by a DHCP server. The opposite of Static IP Address. Ethernet The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The most common Ethernet networks are 10Base‐T, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded, twisted‐pair

ORiNOCO AP‐4000 wire terminated with RJ‐45 connectors. Fast Ethernet (100Base‐T) provides speeds up to 100 Mbps. .Base. means .baseband technology. and .T. means .twisted pair cable. Gateway A device that enables communication between networks using different protocols. IP Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types of computers to communicate with one another and exchange data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single, seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual network. IP Address A unique 32‐bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the destination IP address. IEEE 802.11 Is a set of standards carrying out wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. They are implemented by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee
LAN Local Area Network. A local area network provides a full‐time, high‐bandwidth connection over a limited area such as a home, building, or campus. Ethernet is the most widely used LAN standard. MAC Address The Media Access Control address is a unique, 48‐bit value permanently saved in the ROM at the factory to identify each Ethernet network device. It is expressed as a sequence of 12 hexadecimal digits printed on the units label. Public IP Address The IP address assigned to the router or AP by the service provider. A public IP address is visible to devices on the Internet. Static IP Address An IP address that is permanently assigned to a host. Normally, a static IP address must be assigned manually. The opposite of Dynamic IP Address. TCP/IP
