Scope
This guide assists you
in the operation of switch
between the Access Point mode and Station
/Bridge
mode.
Introduction
The Access Point can be switched between
the
Access Point mode and the Station/Bridge
mode.
Each mode plays a different role in the network.
Access Point is the primary central controller in
wireless LAN. Bridge/Station can bridge wired LAN to
wireless LAN. Figure 1 shows the roles that Access
Point and Bridge/Station play in the network.

System Requirements
a) The Access Point with Access Point or
Station/Bridge mode.
b) PC, with Ethernet interface, TFTP client
software (for Windows 98 only), and ping
software.
c) Crossover RJ45 LAN cable.
d) Program packets:
wlan_ap_ug_xxxxxx.zip
wlan_bridge_ug_xxxxxx.zip
Note: xxxxxx displays the information on version.
Check the Present Mode
To learn which mode the PCB is currently operating,
please follow the steps below:
a) Use crossover LAN cable to connect the
Access Point with PC.
b)
Connect the power adapter to the power jack on
the Access Point.
c) Press theSet to Default
button at the edge of
the Access Point.
d) Set theIP address
ofPCto192.168.1.10,and
Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
e) Type ping 192.168.1.90
in Dos console mode
of PC. If the echo message is “Reply from
192.168.1.90…
”, the Access Point is operating
in the Access Point mode.
f) Type ping 192.168.1.99
in Dos console mode
of PC. If the echo message is “Reply from
192.168.1.99…
”, the Access Point is operating
Upgrade Firmware of Access Point
To upgrade the Access Point under the Access Point
mode,
please follow the steps below:
a) During the upgrade, all LEDson theequipment
flash. Note that the sudden loss of power may
cause serious problems at the moment
. Please
keep regular power supplyduringthe process.
b)
Use crossover LAN cable to connect the Access Point
with the PC.
c)
Connect the power adapter to the power jack on the
Access Point.
d) Press the Set to Default button at the edge of the
Access Point.
e) Set the IP address of PC, for example, to
192.168.1.10, and Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
f) Unzip wlan_ap_ug_xxxxx.zip to the directory c:\
, and
then you can see the wlan_ap directory.
g) Execute apselfug.bat, which is in the directory
wlan_ap/upgrade. The Do
s console mode is shown
