Figure 3-1 Connection between computer and WA1003A

3.1 When to Configure the WA1003A

The factory defaults of WA1003A are optimized, and make WA1003A operable in most networks. Usually, for the users with simple network topology, the default values can meet their basic requirements and need no change.

If the condition of network has been changed due to modification of security, scale, line of communication, protocol or


12

topology, for example, a demand of particular VPI and VCI, you should adjust the default settings accordingly to adapt WA1003A to the changes.

3.2 Setting IP Address on Your Computer

The steps of setting the IP address are as below.

1) Understand the default IP settings for WA1003A: IP address (192.168.1.1), Subnet mask (255.255.255.0).

2) Make sure you install and enable TCP/IP on your computer.

If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, the TCP/IP is probably installed.

If you are using Windows XP, the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations.

3) Configure the IP address and Subnet mask of your computer to make your computer in the same subnet as that of the WA1003A, for example, IP address:192.168.1.100, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems (OS), follow the instructions of the OS to configure the IP address of your computer to the same subnet as that of WA1003A.


13

3.3 Accessing the Web-based Configuration Manager

Once the IP address of the computer is set to access the Web-based configuration manager, you can change the factory defaults to enable WA1003A to connect to the Internet.

Select a key by clicking a button on the left, select an encryption level from the drop-down list on the right, and then enter the proper-length key. (Key length is outlined at the bottom of the window.)


39

Note:

If encryption of any kind, at any level is applied to WA1003A, all devices such as WA1003A and user’s wireless card on the network must comply with all security measures including: SSID, channel, security method and encryption key’s length and value.

Encryption key can be English letters and digits. Pay attention that the encryption key is case sensitive.

Do remember to set the encryption key.

II. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

Wi-Fi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in WEP, and to provide user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP.

For most small networks, such as those in a small business or home-based enterprise, WPA is the easiest way to obtain effective network security. In the three options of WPA, PSK String is the easiest to implement.
