1. Introduction

RA-635S is a smoke detector looking Wireless Access Point / Repeater / WDS that

operates seamlessly in the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum supporting the 802.11b

(2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and faster 802.11g (2.4GHz, 54Mbps) wireless standards. It's the

best way to add wireless capability to your existing wired network, or to add

bandwidth to your wireless installation.

This device features high transmitted output power and high receivable sensitivity

along with antenna diversity. High output power and high sensitivity can extend

range and coverage to reduce the roaming between Access Points to get more

stable wireless connection. It also reduces the expense of equipment in the same

environment.

To protect your wireless connectivity, it can encrypt all wireless transmissions

through 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and also supports WPA/WPA2. The MAC

address filter lets you select exactly which stations should have access to your

network. In addition, the User Isolation function can protect the private network

between client users.

The attractive design, high performance, and array of features makes this a suitable

wireless solution for your residence or office.

This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and

network configuration.

1.5. Applications

The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list

describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and

flexibility of wireless LANs:

a) Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic

buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the

installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

b) Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-

recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a

temporary WLAN established and removed.

c) The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can

access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving

customers and processing information.

d) Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where

frequently rearrange the workplace.

e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small

network.

f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead

caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with

wireless LANs.

g) Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for

mission-critical applications running on wired networks.

h) Training/Educational facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless

connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and

learning.

1.6. Network Configuration

To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a

wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC

card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:

a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.

b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode

This is the simplest network configuration with several computers

equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they

are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-

peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and

does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive

way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts

a network in ad-hoc mode.

b) Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this

mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via

the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet

network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of

independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively

doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below depicts

a network in infrastructure mode.

2. Understanding the Hardware

2.1. Hardware Installation

1 Place the unit in an appropriate place after conducting a site survey.

2 Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port on the rear panel of the
