Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters. With this Bridge, your wireless networking

experience will be faster and easier than ever.

How does the Bridge do this? You can put your Linksys phone adapter or IP phone almost anywhere, without the

cost and hassle of running network cables. The Bridge was specially designed to convert your phone adapter or

IP phone into a wireless device, so it can connect to your home network without an Ethernet cable. This lets you

put your phone where it's most convenient for you, and not be limited to the area around your Internet

connection.

To make installation even more convenient, the Bridge shares electrical power with the phone adapter or IP

phone, so only one power adapter is needed. To get connected, just plug your existing power adapter's power

jack into the Bridge, and connect the power and data cables of the Bridge to the phone adapter or IP phone. The

included Setup Wizard makes it easy to configure the Bridge for your wireless network. To protect your data and

privacy, all wireless transmissions can be encrypted with WEP or industrial-strength, Wi-Fi Protected Access

(WPA/WPA2) security.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from different computers

and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video

games. So, networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun.

PCs equipped with wireless cards and adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the

same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network.

The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Bridge for your wireless network, step by step. Use

the instructions in this Guide to help you set up and connect the Bridge as you run the Setup Wizard. These

instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters.

Network Topology

Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters

Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network

Network Topology

A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter. Computers in a wireless

network must be configured to share the same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or

adapters can communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network.

Linksys wireless adapters also provide users access to a wired network when using an access point or wireless

router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an

infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the access point or wireless

router.

An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network, and can 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 can be doubled.

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 channel and SSID.

Before you consider enabling 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.

infrastructure: a wireless network that is

bridged to a wired network via an access point.

ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices

communicating directly with each other (peer-

to-peer) without the use of an access point.

roaming: the ability to take a wireless device

from one access point's range to another without

losing the connection.

ssid: your wireless network's name.

topology: the physical layout of a network.

access point: a device that allows wireless-

equipped computers and other devices to

communicate with a wired network. Also used to

expand the range of a wireless network

Products using the 802.11g and 802.11b standards can communicate with each other.

Access points and wireless routers are compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g adapters, such as the notebook

adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop PCs, and USB adapters for when you want to

enjoy USB connectivity. Wireless products will also communicate with a wireless print server.

Now with the Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters, you can add wireless connectivity to your LInksys phone

adapter or IP phone (compatible model numbers: PAP2, SPA1001, SPA2000, SPA2002, SPA3000, SPA2100,

SPA841, SPA842, SPA941, SPA942, and SPA9000).

When you wish to connect your wired network with your wireless network, network ports on access points and

wireless routers can be connected to any of Linksys's switches or routers.

With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at

www.linksys.com for more information about wireless products.

router: a networking device that connects multiple

networks together

switch: a data switch that connects computing devices

to host computers, allowing a large number of devices

to share a limited number of ports

Overview

Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters

Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Wireless-G Bridge for Phone

Adapters

Overview

The Bridge has two LEDs, a Power port, and a permanently attached cable.

The LEDs

The Bridge has two LEDs to indicate network activity. (Not all versions of the Bridge have LEDS; however, all

Bridges work the same, with or without LEDs.)

Ethernet Green. The Ethernet LED lights up when the Bridge has an active connection to the wired network.

It flashes when the Bridge is experiencing wired network activity. The LED is not lit when the Bridge

has no active connection to the wired network.

Wireless Green. The Wireless LED lights up when the Bridge is connected to the wireless network. It flashes

when the Bridge is experiencing wireless network activity. The LED is not lit the Bridge is not

connected via wireless.

When the Bridge’s firmware is being upgraded, the Ethernet and Wireless LEDs alternate flashing.

The Port

The Bridge does not include its own power adapter; instead, it uses the power adapter of the Linksys phone

adapter or IP phone.

Power The Power port only supports a 5 V, 2 A, DC power adapter, which was included with your Linksys

phone adapter or IP phone. Do NOT connect any other type of power adapter to the Bridge.

IMPORTANT: Using the wrong power adapter may cause malfunction or damage

your equipment. Figure 3-2: Power Port
