• Ethernet broadband router
• TCP/IP protocol must be installed on each PC
• Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, Fire-
fox

3.3 Connecting the AP
Figure 3.1 is an example of an infrastructure network incorporating the
Access Point. An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a
wireless router. For a typical connection of the AP, please do the fol-
lowing:
1. You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-sub-
scriber line into your home or office). Consult with your Cable or
DSL provider for proper installation of the Modem.
2. Connect the Cable or DSL Modem to a Router. Quickly install the
router.
3. Locate an optimum location for the AP. The best place is usually
near the center of the area in which your PC(s) will wirelessly con-
nect. The place must accord with the Installation Environment Re-
quirements.
4. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good
direction.
5. Connect the Ethernet Broadband Router to the Access Point AP.
Power on the AP.
6. If you are connecting a desktop PC or laptop to your network, in-
stall the Kraun Wireless Adapter on the PC.

4. TCP/IP Configuration
After connecting the Access Point AP into your network, you should con-
figure it. The default IP address of the Wireless Access Point 54MB Sin-
gle Port is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
These values can be seen from the LAN. They can be changed as you
desire, as an example we use the default values for description in this
guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the AP. There are then two
ways to configure the IP address for your PCs.
• Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions
as to how to do this, please refer to “Appendix B: Configuring the
PCs.”
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx
(“xxx” is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gate-
way is 192.168.1.1 (The AP’s default IP address)
• Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in “Obtain an IP address automatically”
mode on your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this,
please refer to Appendix B: “Configuring the PCs.”
2) Power off the AP and PC(s). Then turn on the AP, and restart the
PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the
PC(s).
Now, you can run Ping command in the command prompt to verify the
network connection between your PC(s) and the AP. The following ex-
ample is in Windows 2000 OS.
Click ‘Start’->’Run’, type cmd in the text box and click Enter button, then
you will see a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press
Enter.
