- 1 - Intr oduction Thank you for purchasing the Hawking T echnologies Hi-Speed 54G W ireless-G Access Point and Ethernet Bridge. This product is compliant with the IEEE 802.1 1g wireless standard a nd operates at transfer speeds up to 54Mbps. It is backwards compatible current 802.
- 2 - LED Indicators LED Indicators on the Front Panel.
- 3 - Ports on the Rear Panel Port/button Functions A 5V DC Connects to the power adapter . B LAN Connects to your LAN’s network device. C II-X Switch this button for choosing dif ferent wiring sche.
- 4 - Getting Connected 1. Find a Location : choose a location to place the access point. Usually , the best place for the access point is at the center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all your wireless stations. 2. Adjust the Antenna : usually the higher the an tenna is placed, the better your performance will be.
- 5 - About the Operating Modes This device provides two ma in operational applications: Access Point and Bridge modes, which are mutually exclusiv e. 1. Access Point : As a wireless access point the HWBA54G allows any existing wired network to have wireless access.
- 6 - box. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced configuration or even change th e mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility provided by the manufact urer as described in the following sections or use the Software-based Setup W izard in the included CD-Rom.

- 1 1 - Access (Access Contr ol) This AP provides MAC Address filter ing, which prevents unauthorized MAC Addresses from accessing your W ireless LAN. Once you check to enable access control, only MAC addresses entered in following fields are allowed to associate to this AP .
- 12 - Advanced (Advanced W irel ess).
- 13 - Maximum associated stations 200 Fragmentation threshold T o fragment MSDU or MMPDU into small sizes of frames for increasing the reliability of frame (The maximum value of 2346 means no fragmentation is needed) transmission. The perform ance will be decreased as well, thus a noisy environm ent is recommended.
- 14 - next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point has buf fered broadcast or multicast message for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Access point clients hear and awaken to receive the broadcast and multi cast messages.
- 15 - Security Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting dif ferent method will enable you to ha ve dif ferent level of security . WP A (W i-Fi Protected Access) is the ne w wireless LAN security standard for 802.1 1 networks, which was developed to replace the existing standard WEP .
- 16 - WP A Multicast Cipher T ype Select TKIP - WP A Default WP A Pairwise Cipher T ype Select TKIP - WP A Default WP A Group Key Update Interval This shows the time period for the next key change. The default value is 3600 (seconds ). Users may set the values o f their preference.
- 17 - RADIUS server IP address Enter the RADIUS server IP . RADIUS server port number Port used for RADIUS, the number of ports must be the same as the RADIUS server , normally the port is 1812 RADIUS server shared secret When registered with a RADIUS server , a password will be assigned.
- 18 - Enable WEP WEP ( W ired Equivale nt Privacy) encryption can be used to ensure the security of your wireless network. The window allows you to set to 64bit or 128bit Encryption (WEP) by using either Passphrase or Manual Entry methods.
- 19 - IP Addr (IP Address Settings) Set the management IP for the W ireless 802.1 1g Access Point, the default IP address is 192.168.1.240. IP Address Mode Access point name Y ou can name this access point for id entification. Y ou can leave it blank without entering anything.
- 20 - Admin (Administration) In this Administration page, you can Change password. The device has no password at defau lt. It is recommended that you set a password to ensure that no one can adjust the devi ce’ s settings; Reboot/Reset this device .

- 23 - Info(Information) The setup home page will display th e in formation about the current settings of this access point..
- 24 - W ireless (W ireless Configuration) Here you can set/change wire less configuration including visibilit y status, PHY profiles, SSID, channel, transmission rate … etc. See the description that comes after each function. When you are done with the change, reme mber to restart this access po int to let the new settings take ef fect.
- 25 - W ireless Mode Infrastructure m ode: to connect to a AP Ad-hoc mode to connect to other bridge station. ireless Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the unique name shared among all points in your wireless network. The name must be iden tical for all devices and points attempting to connect to the same network.
- 26 - Security Here you can enable the WEP and set the W EP key , if you enable WE P , the client PC must also set their WEP ke y . Enable WEP WEP ( W ired Equivale nt Privacy) encryption can be used to ensure the security of your wireless network.
