WG102-500, WGAP150 ProSafe™ 802.11g Wireless Access Point
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant
performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the
wireless access point. For complete performance specifications, see
Appendix A.
For best results, place your wireless access point according to the following general
guidelines:
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves ovens, and 2.4 GHz
cordless phones.
Away from large metal surfaces or water.
Placing an external antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage.
Placing an external antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down
coverage. (An external antenna does not come standard with the WGAP150.)
If using multiple wireless access points, it is better if adjacent wireless access points use
different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel
spacing between adjacent wireless access points is five channels (for example, use
channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11, or 1 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings, and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Ethernet Cabling Requirements
The wireless access point connects to your LAN via twisted-pair category 5 Ethernet cable
with RJ-45 connectors.
LAN Configuration Requirements
For the initial configuration of your wireless access point, you need to connect a computer to
the wireless access point.
Note: For assistance with DHCP configuration, see the online document
that you can access from “Preparing Your Network” in Appendix B.
