The AWS-100
Wireless Access Point
AWS-100 Access Point is an 11 Mbps wireless device that seamlessly integrates
with existing Ethernet networks to support applications such as mobile users or temporary
conferences. This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost
savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling.) Just
install enough wireless access points to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into your
notebooks or install wireless adapters into your desktops, and start networking.
Using this device in conjunction with AWP-100/AWA-100 Wireless PC/PCI Cards, you
can create an instant network that integrates seamlessly with 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs.
Moreover, moving or expanding your network is as easy as moving or installing additional
access points, no wires!

Hardware Description A
The AWS-100 Wireless Access Point serves as a Media Access Control (MAC)
bridge between your wired Local Area Network (LAN) and one or more Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs) (including wireless clients or other access points). Just attach the access
point anywhere along your Ethernet LAN to provide wireless stations within its area of
coverage with transparent access to the local wired and wireless LAN.
The AWS-100 Wireless Access Point supports an 11 Mbps half-duplex connection
to Ethernet networks for each active channel. It is fully compliant with 2.4 GHz DSSS
CSMA/CA Wireless networking as defined in IEEE 802.11b, and 10 Mbps Ethernet as defined
in IEEE 802.3

Installation
1. Select the Site -Choose a proper place for your AWS-100 Access Point. In general,
the best location to place the access point is at the center of your wireless coverage area,
within line of sight to all your mobile stations.
2. Attach the Antenna -Screw the antenna into the antenna connector (ANT) on the back
panel. Proper placement will improve performance. Try to place the access point in a position
that can best cover its BSS. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the
performance.
3. Connect the Ethernet Cable -The AWS-100 can be wired to a 10 or 10/100 BASE-T
Ethernet with a network device such as a hub or a switch. Connect into the RJ-45 connector
socket on the back panel with category 3, 4 or 5 UTP Ethernet cable and an RJ-45 connector.
4. Connect the Power Cable -Connect the power adapter cable to the 9V
DC power Socket on the rear panel.
Warning: ONLY USE the power adapter supplied with the AWS-100.
Otherwise, the product may be damaged.
Note: The RS-232 Port is a reserve port for future function. There is no any
function or configure interface in currently model.

Configuration
The diskette labeled “Utility Diskette”,that comes with the package contains a utility program
for the AWS-100 Wireless Access Point. Any updates can be downloaded from
Addtron's Web site at
http://www.addtron.com
Warning: Backup your utility diskette and use the copy as the working diskette to
protect the original from accidental damage.
The AWS-100 can be configured over an Ethernet network using RJ-45 cable or wireless
device that link to this AP. You may connect the AWS-100 to a network device such as a
hub or switch. Then, run the utility program, and configure the AWS-100 remotely as
described below.
Windows NT/95/98/ME/2000 Installation
1. Insert the AWS-100 utility disk into the floppy drive on your PC, and then enter the
following command: A:\utility\setup.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
utility program.
2. When you run the installed utility click on “AP” and then select “Scan” from the menu, the
program will then detect all the AWS-100s wired to the Ethernet network

3. From the list of detected AWS-100s, select and double click on the unit you want to
configure. The web browser page will appear as follows:
4. Enter the user name “default” and password “WLAN_AP” This will take you to the home
page.
NOTE: The AP firmware doesn’t check the field of User name. User can hit any
string except the “default” to login into the home page.
5. Click on “AP Information MIB”, “AP Control MIB”,“TCP/IP Settings”or ”Change
Password” to select the page required.
The AP Information MIB screen displays the categories of information shown below.
User’s manual –AWS-100

In the AP Control MIB page set the parameters and the click on “Apply Changes” to implement
the settings.
6. DS Channel –Set the wireless channel number as the operating radio channel.
Note1: Corresponds the available channel setting (region) will be displayed in
the field of right corner.
FCC/IC: 1-11, ETSI: 1-13, MKK: 1-14, France: 10-13 and Spain: 10-11.
Note2: If you have several wireless LAN networks with different SSID on one
floor, the transfer speed may be affected when communicating with
other wireless networks. This is because radio waves with the same
frequency are being used (Close frequencies used on adjacent channels
may interfere with each other also).
To avoid this problem, set a different frequency (wireless channel) for
each wireless LAN network.
7. SSID -This SSID (ESS-ID) is an identification code required for communication in a
wireless LAN. (Default: “WLAN”)
Note: The SSID is upper/lower case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
8. RTS Threshold -Set the RTS Threshold to enable the RTS/CTS mechanism. (Default:
2,305,the maximum values and means Disabled)
