(Recommended) To set up and configure the access point, use a wired client workstation connected to the access point directly or connected to the wired LAN to which the access point is connected. Initial setup and configuration must be done over a wired connection, but subsequent changes can be made over a wireless connection.

(Optional) Use DHCP server support for automatic assignment of an IP address to the access point over the wired network. You can configure the access point to use DHCP to get its IP address. See Using DHCP on page 8. N N 4 Connect and Power Up the Access Point Connect the Access Point to the Wired Network N Plug an RJ-45 Category 5 Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 connector on the access point and into a 10/100 Ethernet wall connector or hub. Connect the Access Point to an AC Power Source N N Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Plug the power adapter cable into the socket on the bottom of the access point. LED Indicators Once the access point is connected to a wired network and is powered on, check the LED indicators to verify that the unit is functioning correctly. If the access point fails to initialize, restart it by disconnecting and reconnecting power. N N N The "Ready" LED at the bottom of the row of LEDs should be lit. If the access point is connected to a LAN through an Ethernet cable, the

"Wired Link" LED should be lit (green for 10 Mbps, orange for 100 Mbps) and the "Wired network activity" LED should be blinking. If the access point is communicating with a wireless adapter, the

"Wireless radio activity" LED should be flashing. Viewed top to bottom, the LED indicators on the access point have the following functions. Wired link

5 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time 1. Set up a portable or desktop computer as a configuration workstation from which to view the browser-based Configuration Management System used to configure the access point. 2. Connect the configuration workstation to the access point either directly

(using a crossover RJ-45 cable) or through a hub or switch (using a standard RJ-45 cable). 3. The configuration workstation must be running Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98, and one of the following web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.50 or Netscape Navigator version 4.78 or 5.x 4. Set up the configuration workstation initially with an IP address compatible with the default IP address and default subnet of the access point. For example, based on the access point default IP address 192.0.2.1 and default subnet 255.255.0.0, the client workstation could be set to 192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.3, or a similar address not in use by another device. 5. Once the workstation has been configured as just described, type the default access point IP address as a URL in the browser address field:

http://192.0.2.1. 6. To access the Express Setup pages, type a user name and a password. The default for both is: Intel. The password is case-sensitive: capital "I,"

lower case "ntel."

7. Use Express Setup to configure the access point with a new IP address, subnet, and other settings suitable for the network to which it will be permanently connected (see table on page 7). 8. Click Apply first, then click Restart AP. After the access point has restarted, connect it to the required network. 9. Once the access point has been configured and connected to the network, the configuration interface can be viewed from any workstation on the same network segment or subnet. Open a compatible browser and type the actual IP address of the access point as a URL in the address field. Note: To view configuration, function or option changes on the browser pages, turn off the browser's caching function. For Netscape, from the menu bar select Edit, Properties, Advanced, Cache, the select Document in cache is compared to document on network: Every time. For Internet Explorer, from the menu bar select View, Internet Options, Temporary Internet files, Settings, then select Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every visit to the page.

The default IP address is 192.0.2.1. An IP address is not dynamically assigned to the access point under its default configuration. Use the default address initially, then change it to a valid address for the network to which the access point will be connected. For dynamic address assignment, see the section Using DHCP.

User-defined name for the access point. Any combination of letters and numbers from 1 to 32 characters. Default is the model number of the access point.

The default Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0 if DHCP usage is Disabled or DHCP service is not available. Change this to a valid subnet mask for the network to which the access point will be connected.

There is no default gateway initially configured. Use a valid gateway address for the network to which the access point will be connected. If no valid gateway is defined on your network, use the default gateway 0.0.0.0. For gateway assignment via DHCP, see the section Using DHCP.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) dynamically assigns IP addresses on a network with a DHCP server. DHCP default setting for the PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point is Disabled. To change this to Enabled and install the access point on a network using DHCP support, see Using DHCP.

Location of the Help files accessible by clicking the Help button on a screen in the access point Configuration Management System. See the online Users Guide for information. 

Service Set Identifier (also called Network Name, Network ID, ESSID) identifies the network to which the access point is connected. All access points and client workstations on the same wireless LAN must have the same SSID, which can be any combination of letters and numbers up to 32 characters. Default for Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN devices is "101."

The default SSID is intended only for preliminary setups and connections; it should usually be changed to a descriptive name for the wireless LAN network in question.

7 Using DHCP (Optional) The Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point can be configured to use DHCP to get its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway:

1. Access the Express Setup page in the browser-based Configuration Management System as described in Steps 1-6 under Configuring the Access Point for the First Time on page 6. 2. Change the DHCP setting from Disabled to Enabled on the Express Setup page or the Configuration page. Save the new settings by clicking Apply, then click Restart AP. After the restart, connect the access point to the network to which it will be permanently connected. 3. The next time the access point is restarted after DHCP has been enabled, it will attempt to get its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from the DHCP server. If no server is available, the access point will use the Default IP Address and Default Subnet Mask settings. 4. When the access point used DHCP to obtain its IP address, you will have to determine the IP address before you can access the configuration pages. There are several strategies you can use for this, based on the MAC address assigned to the access point:

N N N Before connecting the "DHCP Enabled" access point to a DHCP network, ask your network administrator to reserve an IP address, based on the MAC address for the access point, in the DHCP

"lease table." This will allow the DHCP server to recognize the access point when it is connected to the network and assign it a known IP address based on the MAC address. You can also connect a "DHCP Enabled" access point to a DHCP network immediately, without reserving the MAC address before connection. In this case an address will be assigned automatically, but you will have to request the address from your network administrator, who will obtain it from the DHCP "lease table."

You can also use the Intel Access Point Administration Tool AP Discovery to find the access point and display its IP address. See the online Users Guide for details. Restore Factory Defaults The access point has a Reset button that can be used to perform a hardware reset or to restore the access point's factory default settings. The Reset button is located in a pinhole on the bottom of the access point. Insert the end of an unbent paper clip into the hole and apply pressure as follows:

Press and release the Reset button quickly to perform a hardware reset. Press and hold the Reset button until the Ready LED flashes quickly 3 times. This will restore all access point parameters to factory default settings, including default user name, password, and IP address. N N 8 Access Point Factory Default Settings System name
