4. Getting Started

For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service

provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local network,

without sacrificing speed or security, using TRENDware networking products.

An

Infrastructure

network contains an Access Point. The

Infrastructure

Network

example shown on the below contains the following TRENDnet

network devices:

Wireless Access Point

(TEW-310APB)

(DHCP enabled

at default)

Ethernet Broadband Router

(TW100-S4W1CA)

(

DHCP enabled

at default)

Notebook computer with a wireless adapter

(TEW-301PC)

Desktop computer with a wireless adapter

(TEW-303PI)

Cable modem or DSL Modem

DHCP

stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

It is a protocol

for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically”

.

With a DHCP-

capable gateway/router, there is no need to manually assign an IP

address to each computer in the network.

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the TEW-310APB will

automatically connect with other TRENDnet products.

Please note:

If you have a DHCP-capable router, please configure

the TEW-310APB to disable its DHCP Server and enable its DHCP

Client

If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network,

please remember that the

IP Address for each computer must be in

the same IP Address range as all the computers in the network

, and

the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the

network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of

192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second

computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet

Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP

Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.

You will need a broadband Internet access (Cable/DSL)

subscription.

Consult with your Cable/DSL provider for proper installation of the

modem.

Configure

TEW-310APB

.

Refer to the

Quick Installation Guide

for

setting up the Access Point.

If you already have a DHCP server (e.g. Internet Router) on the

network, please disable the DHCP Server function on the TEW-310APB.

If you are connecting a desktop computer in your network, you

can install the

TRENDnet TEW-303PI

wireless PCI adapter into

an available PCI slot.

See the

Quick Installation Guide

included

with the TEW-303PI

If you are connecting a Notebook computer in the network, install

the drivers for the TEW-301PC wireless CardBus adapter into the

laptop computer.

See the

Quick Installation Guide

included with

TEW-301PI for installation instructions.

After the configuration, connect the Access Point to your network.

If you have an Internet Router, connect it to the cable/DSL

5. Using the Configuration Menu

The

Configuration Menu

for the TEW-310APB is web-based.

When using the

configuration program, please consider the following:

You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet Explorer

4.0

or higher, or the Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.

The computer that you are using for initial configuration must setup to receive IP

address from DHCP server (or have an IP Address within the same range as the

IP Address of the TEW-310APB).

The TEW-310APB has a default IP Address of

192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and DHCP Server function enabled.

If you are using an Internet router with its DHCP server enabled, please do not

connect the TEW-310APB to the network.

You will need to configure the TEW-

310APB, disable its DHCP Server and enable the DHCP Client.

If you have static IP address for each network device, please prepare a computer

with DHCP client enabled and use this computer to configure the TEW-310APB's

IP address to fit your network.

Basic Settings

you can make changes to the

following items:

AP name

SSID

Channel

WEP Key

Mode

AP Name:

You may choose to rename your Access Point, especially if you

have more than one Access Point on your network.

SSID:

(

Service Set Identifier

)

“default” is the factory setting.

The SSID

is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must

share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network.

If you

choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID

name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.

Channel: Channel 1 is the default channel

. Input a new number if you want

to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the

same channel to communicate on the network.

WEP Encryption:

Select

64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit

to use

WEP

(

W

ired

E

quivalent

P

rivacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the

Access Point, must share the same level WEP, and they must share the same

WEP key.

Mode:

The WEP key is generated from

ASCII

or

HEX

(Hexadecimal)

entries

that are either 64, 128, or 256 bit in length. Select

HEX

for entering HEX

numbers 0 ~ 9 and alphabet A ~ F. Or select

ASCII

for entering

any ACSII

characters. The number of characters that you can enter is depending on the

level of WEP Key. The higher the WEP key level, the more characters you

need to enter for the keys. For 64-bit key, you need to enter 10 HEX or 5 ASCII

characters. 128-bit requires 26 HEX or 13 ASCII characters. 256-bit WEB key

needs 58 HEX or 29 ASCII characters.

Hexadecimal

digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F

ASCII

(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code

for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127
