Access Point Features

The Access Point has a series of LEDs on its front panel, and a series of ports on its

rear panel. It is recommended that the user become familiar with these features

before installing or setting up the Access Point.

Front Panel

There are three LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel of the Access

Point, as shown in the figure, below.

Power LED

The Power LED glows red when power is supplied to the Access Point. When it

blinks green, the Access Point is going through its initialization process. Steady

green indicates the Access Point is ready.

Ethernet LED

The Ethernet LED glows green to indicate that your Access Point “sees” an active

Ethernet connection.

Wireless LED

The Wireless LED glows green when the Access Point is ready to use. It will blink

intermittently when there is wireless activity.

Rear Panel

The Access Point has a Power Connector, A LAN (Ethernet) Port, an Antenna Jack,

and a Reset button on its rear panel.

LAN Port

The Ethernet (LAN) port is used to connect the Access Point to a hub or router

with the Gray Crossover Ethernet cable.

Power Port

The Power Port is used to connect the Access Point’s Power Adapter.

Wireless

Networking Basics

Wireless networking connects computers to each other using radio signals rather

than wires. This allows users the freedom to move around and work anywhere

within the range of the wireless network. A wireless network consists of two ele-

ments - Clients and Access Points.

• A Client is a computer or any other device equipped with a wireless network

adapter, such as the Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card .

• An access point is a device, like your Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Access

Point, that connects the clients with the network and each other.

The following sections give an overview of the options available when

setting up a wireless network.

Creating a Wireless Network

Creating a wireless network involves two basic steps:

1. Setting up an access point to send and receive wireless network signals.

2. Setting up computers to send and receive wireless network signals from the

access point(s).

A typical wireless network may look similar to the one in the figure, below.

All of the wirelessly networked computers (also known as clients) communicate

with each other through the access point, which acts as a wireless hub.

Extending a Wired Network

To add wireless networking to an established wired network:

1. Connect the access point(s) to the wired network. This is usually done with an

Ethernet cable connecting a wired network hub or router to an access point

using a “cross-over” style Ethernet cable (included in the Quick Start Kit).

2. Set up the access point(s) to send and receive wireless network signals.

3. Set up computers (wireless clients) to send and receive wireless network sig-

nals from the access point(s).

The figure below illustrates one possibility for extending a wired network:

The access point is wired to a hub, which in turn is connected to a traditionally

wired network. The notebook computer (or client), set up to receive wireless net-

working signals, can access the wired network via the access point.

Creating a Wireless Network from a Single Computer

It is also possible to connect an access point to a single computer, instead of a network

hub. This method can be used to share the computer’s Internet connection among the

wireless clients, and is a common way to use a wireless network in the home.

To create a wireless network from a single computer:

1. Connect the access point to the computer. Use a standard Ethernet cable (pur-

chased separately).

2. Set up the access point to send and receive wireless network signals.

3. Set up computers (wireless clients) to send and receive wireless network sig-

nals from the access point(s).

The figure below shows a typical access point - computer setup:

The access point is wired to the computer (usually, this computer will have an

Internet connection). The notebook computer (wireless client) can access the

wired computer, as well as use the Internet connection to surf the Web.

Next, go to “Installing the Access Point” on page 10 to connect the Access Point.
