Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you installed your new network or wireless adapter, by default, the TCP/IP
settings should be set to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. By
default the DHCP server option on your router is enabled.
To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below:
•
Click on the Windows
Start
button and open the
Run
application.
•
In the
Open
box type
cmd
and click
OK
.
•
At the command prompt, type in the command
ipconfig
and press
Enter
. This
will display the
IP address
,
Subnet Mask
, and the
Default Gateway
of your
adapter. If the address is
0.0.0.0
, it means that your network adapter did not
receive an IP address from the DHCP server. Check your adapter installation,
security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software
programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP
address, please follow the steps below:
•
Click on the Windows
Start
button and navigate to the
Control Panel
>
Network and Sharing Center
and click on the
Change Adapter Settings
option on the left panel.
•
Right-click on the
Local Area Connection
, which represents your network
adapter, and select
Properties
.
•
Select the
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
option and click on the
Properties
button.
•
Select
Use the following IP address
and enter an IP address that is on the
same subnet as your router. For example: If your router is running on the IP
address of
192.168.1.1
, use any IP address from
192.168.1.2
to
192.168.69.254
. Use the Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0
. Set Default
Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router. Set Preferred DNS
server IP address the same as the LAN IP address of your router. The
Secondary DNS is not needed at this stage.
•
Click the
OK
button twice to return to the

Wireless Basics
Wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access
wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it.
You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly
in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to
work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as
Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection
supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link.
What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have
the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network.
How does Wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you
can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it
to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the
signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30 feet away. Compared to WLAN the speed and
wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones,
PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
