Chapter1 Introduction

Overview

Thank you for using Gigabyte GN-AP02G Wireless-G Access Point. The IEEE

802.11g standard is designed as a higher-bandwidth - 54M bit/sec - successor

to the popular 802.11b, or Wi-Fi standard, which tops out at 11M bit/sec. An

802.11g access point will support 802.11b and 802.11g clients.

The GN-AP02G Wireless-G Access Point lets you connect IEEE 802.11g or

IEEE802.11b devices to the network. With its high-speed data

transmissions of up to 54 Mbps, you complete a lot of work in a short amount

of time. Network users can share a broadband Internet connection, access

e-mail, download large files, videoconference, and distribute and play digital

images, videos, and MP3 files.

And with up to 152-bit WEP encryption, you can feel relieved that your wireless

network communications are private. Easy to set up and use, the GN-AP02G

provide you an AP Manager Configuration utility.

Chapter 2 Installation

HardwareRequirements

To use the Wireless Access Point on your network, each computer may need

the following requirements:

An installed 802.11b/g wireless adapter.

An Ethernet LAN switch or hub.

A wired RJ-45 Ethernet cable

SystemRequirements

A Computer with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based operating system.

To run AP Manager, you need a computer with Windows operating

system.

Internet Configuration Requirements

In order to connect your Access Point to the AP Manager, you will need the

following configuration parameters to configure the TCP/IP setting of your

computer:

Static IPAddress: 192.168.1. x (e.g, 2 ~ 253)

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254

HardwareInstallation

Follow these steps to install the Wireless Access Point.

1. Choose a proper place for Access Point. In general, the best location is at

the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight to all wireless

devices. Keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.

2. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Normally, the higher you

place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna 　

position enhances the receiving sensitivity.

3. Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to theAccess Point and attach

the other end to a network hub, switch, router, or patch panel (possibly on

a wall).

4. Attach one end of theAC power adapter to the Access Point and the other

end to a power outlet. (Note: Only use the power adapter supplied by

Gigabyte in the product package. Using a different adapter may result in

product damage.)

For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If you experience

low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish to access,

consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly between the

computers with wireless adapters. Additional Access Points can be connected

to provide better coverage in rooms where the signal does not appear as

strong as desired.

Connect to Access Point

Wired Ethernet Cable

You can connect a LAN cable from your computer Network card to the Access

Point without using a Network switch or hub.

Wireless Connection

If you are using the wireless connection, you can connect to the Access Point

using the Gigabyte Access Point Manager without a wired Ethernet cable.

Illustration

There are two installation mode for your reference as follow:

Method 1: Static IP address

If you are Not using a DHCP server in your network, you can configure the AP

by connecting to the computer directly.

1. You will need to assign a Static IPAddress to the computer that you are

using to configure the Access Point on the same subnet.

For instance, the default IP address of the Access Point is 192.168.1.1

and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You can enter IP address

192.168.1.20 (assuming that it is not already assigned to another network

device), subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to your computer.

Note: If you need the instructions on how to do this, please refer to

Appendix C, “Configuration of the PCs”

2. Connect to the Access Point one by one and assign a static IP to each

Access Point. For example, 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.y, etc. (If the IP

address of your network is 10.1.5.x then your Access Point can be

assigned to 10.1.5.y.)

3. Make sure that every Access Point has a unique IP.

4. After all Access Points have been configured successfully, then you can

use AP Manager to control/monitor all Access Points network.

PC(AP Manager) 192.168.1.x

192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.y

Method 2: Numerous Access Points setting

Using DHCP server to setup the IP Address then remove DHCP server

If require to setup as many Access Points at the same time. You can setup a

DHCP Server and let it assign IP to all the Access Points so it has its own

unique IP address. After the setup is finished, and then remove or disabled

DHCP Server at last. Now, you can use the AP Manager to find all Access

Points in your network, and then setup the N-Access Points as static IP

address one by one. Notice: After assign static IP address to everyAccess

Points, be sure to set the PC (AP Manager) to the same subnet.

Obtain IP Address Automatically - DHCP Server Enabled

If you are using a DHCP server in your network, you can connect a DHCP

server with the Access Point and an AP Manager through a switch/hub. The IP

address of the Access Point should be configured to “obtain an IP address

automatically”(which is default setting). The DHCP server will assign the IP

address to the Access Point. The PC (AP Manager) should use the IP on the

same subnet as the Access Point. Or, you can configure the PC (AP

Manager) to “obtain an IP address automatically” and assign IP by the same

DHCP server.
