    Overview the Produc t

    Introduction

    NetPassage WPE53G is a high-performance and low-cost

    IEEE802.11b / g Ac cess Point using the la test AR5007 techno log y.

    NetPassage WPE53G is also very small compared to other Access

    Points in the market. Using Atheros System-on-Chip (SoC) solution,

    WPE53G supports high-speed data transmission of up to 54Mbps or 108

    Mbps. Moreover, Power-over-Ethernet support enables NetPassage

    WPE53G to be used even in areas without readily-available power

    outlets.

    NetPassage WPE53G complements devices supporting multiple virtualAP connections by directing each to a separate secure virtual LAN.

    Each VLAN can be secured with different wireless encryption methods,

    p rovid ing the sec urity connec tions nec essary fo r ente rp rise networks.

    NetPassage WPE53G also incorporates features that are useful to

    system integrators, such as Antenna Alignment for adjusting your

    antenna to op timize performance, Syslog for event log g ing, a s we ll as

    Telnet/ SSH for ea sy devic e m anagem ent.

    When to Use Which Mode

    Ac c ess Point Mode

    The Ac c ess Point Mod e is the d efa ult mod e o f the ac c ess point and

    enables the bridging of wireless clients to access the wired network

    infrastruc ture and a lso ena b les their c ommunica tion with ea ch other.

    In this example the wireless users are able to access the file server

    connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point

    Mode.

    Ac c ess Point Client Mode

    In Ac cess Point C lient Mo de the device a c ts as a wireless c lient .

    When c onnec ted to a n ac c ess po int, it c rea tes a netwo rk link betweenthe Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless

    Ethernet netwo rk c onnec ted a t the ac c ess point.

    In this mode it can only connect with another access point. Other

    wireless clients cannot connect to it directly unless they are also

    c onnec ted to the sam e a c c ess po int allow ing them to c ommunic ate

    with all devices c onnec ted to the Ethernet po rt of the a cc ess point.

    In this example the workgroup PCs can access the printer connected

    to the acc ess point in Ac c ess Point Client Mode.

    Op tiona l ad ditiona l fea ture:

    Point-to-Point connection in this operation mode is also supported if

    you spec ific a lly wish to c onnec t w ith a n a c c ess point only.

    Please refe r to the Point-to -Point setup sec tion.

    Wireless Adapter Mode

    In Wireless Adapter Mode, the access point can communicate

    wirelessly with another access point to perform transparent bridgingbetween 2 netw orks, like in the Ac c ess Point C lient Mode. In this mod e,

    however, the wireless adapter connects to a single workstation only.

    No c lient softwa re o r drivers a re req uired to use this mo de.

    In Repeater Mode, the access point acts as a relay for network signals

    on the network by regenerating the signals it receives, and

    retransmitting them to extend the range of the existing network

    infrastructure.

    DHCP Sta rt IP Address This is the first IP add ress tha t the DHCP server will

    assign and should belong to the same subnet as

    the access point. For example if the access point

    IP address is 192.168.168.1 and the ne tw ork mask is

    192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP Start IP

    Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can be

    any number from 2 to 254. It is pre-set to192.168.168.100.

    DHCP End IP Address This is the last IP address tha t the DHCP server can

    assign and should also belong to the same subnet

    as your access point. For example if the access

    point IP address is 192.168.168.1 and the network

    mask is 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP

    End IP Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X

    DHCP Gateway IP

    Address

    Thoug h the DHCP server usua lly a lso ac ts as the

    Default Gateway of the DHCP client, the access

    point allows you to define a different Gateway IP

    Address which will be allocated as the Default

    Ga teway IP of the DHCP c lient. The DHCP c lient

    will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the

    access point but will access to the Internet or the

    other LAN through the Default Gateway defined

    by the DHCP Gateway IP Ad dress.

    For instance if the access point in Access Point

    Client mo de c onnec ts to a n Internet ga teway X, a

    PC wired to the access point will be unable to

    obtain a dynamic IP address directly from X. But ifyou enable the DHCP server of the access point

    and set the IP address of X as the DHCP Ga tew ay

    IP Address, the PC will obtain its IP address from

    the access point and access the Internet through

    X.

    multiple broadband connections across the traffic demands of your

    connection fails, the access point will use the remaining functional

    b roa dba nd c onnec tions, thus p roviding Fa il-Over Red unda ncy.

    Implementing Parallel Broadband requires the installation of 2 or more

    acc ess po ints in the netwo rk, ea c h c onnec ted to sep arate b roa db andInternet service account. As there is no restriction to the type of

    broad ba nd Internet they a re c onnec ted to, be it c ab le o r ADSL, you

    may thus have one access point connected to cable Internet, and

    another to a n ADSL line. The a c cess points have to b e o perat ing in
