Chapter 2
Basic Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to set up your ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point for wireless
connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable computers with 802.11b or
802.11g wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the Internet, or access printers and files
on your LAN.
You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless
access point:
A location for the WG302 that conforms to the “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range
Guidelines” below.
The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch,
router, or Cable/DSL gateway.
One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters.
Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration
choices.
Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at ranges of
several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for others outside your area
to access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your
network from unauthorized access. The ProSafe 802.11g provides highly effective
security features which are covered in detail in “Setting Up and Testing Basic
Wireless Connectivity” on page 2-13. Deploy the security features appropriate to
your needs.
