802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point
Prepare for installation
Turn on your desktop or laptop computer. Type your password if you are prompted to do so.
Note: Your product number is USR5450. It is very important that you have your serial num-
ber written down before you install the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
You can find your serial number on the bottom of the Wireless Access Point and on the side
of the package. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will need this num-
ber to receive assistance.
Note: Be sure to find out what letter your CD-ROM drive uses before you begin installing
your new product. You will need to know this to properly install your software.
Step One: Install your software
Note: You will need to install this software on all the PCs or laptops you plan to use to con-
figure the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
Insert your U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run, and type
D:\setup (or the appropriate letter of your CD-ROM drive) and click OK.
The Installation CD Graphic User Interface (GUI) will appear on your screen. If prompted, select
your preferred language.
Some files will be copied to your system, and then you will be asked to read the license agree-
ment. Read the agreement and click Yes. Select your product and then click Software.
Click Access Point Software. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for some files to be cop-
ied to your hard drive. A window will appear showing you the files that are being loaded onto
your system. When the Menu screen of the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM returns, close it.
Remove the Installation CD-ROM and prepare to install your hardware.

Step Two: Connect the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point
•Use the Ethernet port and an RJ-45 cable to connect the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-func-
tion Access Point to one of the following devices: a cable or DSL modem with routing capa-
bilities, a hub, a bridge, an existing Ethernet LAN, or a router.
•Attach both antennas to the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
•Attach the power supply to the Wireless Access Point and to a power outlet.
The Wireless Access Point has three LED status indicators: PWR, TX/RX, and WARN. When the
Wireless Access Point is plugged in, the PWR LED will be illuminated. When a network connection
is established, the TX/RX LED will be illuminated. If an unauthorized user attempts to use the
802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point, the WARN LED will be illuminated.
Step Three: Verify detection of the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function
Access Point
After the Wireless Access Point is installed, double-click the icon for the Configuration Utility on
your desktop. If the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is located, the configura-
tion information will be displayed.
Note: It is recommended that the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is
always configured via an Ethernet connection. This will ensure the configuration changes
are made without modifying the properties of any wireless cards in your network.
To verify that you are connecting to the correct Wireless Access Point, check the MAC address.
The MAC address is located on the bottom of the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access
Point case and in the Link Information option of the Configuration Utility.
When you have identified the correct Wireless Access Point, note the IP address that is listed.
Launch a Web browser on the computer that is physically connected to the 802.11g Wireless
Turbo Multi-function Access Point. Enter the IP address for your Wireless Access Point. This will
open the Web Configuration Utility. The default user name is admin. There is no default pass-
word.

When the Web Configuration Utility launches, you can change the information about your wire-
less network. For more information about both Configuration Utilities for the 802.11g Wireless
Turbo Multi-function Access Point, refer to the User Guide on the Installation CD-ROM.
Note: If you need to reset the Wireless Access Point at any time, perform the following
steps. Press in and hold the RESET button for between five and ten seconds. This will reset
the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point to the factory default settings.
Warning: If you reset the Wireless Access Point, you will lose your custom settings.

Troubleshooting
My AP Configuration Utility does not recognise the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function
Access Point after I changed the settings.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that the AP Configuration utility is installed for your 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function
Access Point and that the WLAN Configuration utility is installed and functioning for your Wireless
PC Cards or PCI Adapters.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that you are attempting to contact the correct 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function
Access Point by verifying the MAC address.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that the correct Authentication Mode and WEP Encryption key are being used. If you
changed the settings in the configuration of the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access
Point, you must also change the settings of every Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter
attached to this network. The settings of the Wireless Access PC Cards or PCI Adapters must
match the new settings of the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point. If you are still
experiencing difficulties, reset all of your Wireless Access Points and wireless network adapters
to the default settings and try again.
Possible Solution:
Try using a direct Ethernet connection to ensure communication with the 802.11g Wireless Turbo
Multi-function Access Point
I am unable to communicate with the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
Possible Solution:
Be sure that each Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter that you want to connect to the wireless net-
work is set to Infrastructure mode within the Configuration Utility. If your Wireless Access PC
Cards or PCI Adapters are not set to Infrastructure mode, they will not be able to communicate
with the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
Possible Solution:
Your 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point may not be responding. Try resetting the
802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point to reactivate it. Press in and hold the RESET
button for between five and ten seconds. This will reset the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function
Access Point to the factory default settings.
Possible Solution:
Your 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point may not have received a valid IP address
for your network. If the IP address is set to Dynamic and the IP address is 0.0.0.0, a valid IP
address was not dynamically assigned. Refer to the “802.11g Wireless Turbo Configuration Utili-
ties” chapter in the User Guide on the Installation CD-ROM.

on the same network as your computer.
My 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is not appearing in the list when I scan
for it.
Possible Solution:
You may be on a computer that is physically too far away from the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-
function Access Point. Try moving closer to the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access
Point and repeating the scan procedure. Check any physical connections between the 802.11g
Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point and your modem, router, hub, LAN, or switch.
My computer is not acknowledging my 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point.
Possible Solution:
Be certain that the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is plugged into a power
source and is properly installed. Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the Ether-
net port on the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point and to the Ethernet port on
your cable or DSL modem, router, hub, or switch.
I am experiencing poor link quality in some areas of my home or office.
Possible Solution:
You might be encountering interference from walls or other structures that is lowering your link
quality. Try placing your 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point at a higher location,
such as a higher shelf, or repositioning it in a different area of your room or office.
I accidentally clicked Cancel during the installation procedure.
Possible Solution:
Remove and reinsert the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Repeat the
installation procedure of the software before you install any hardware.
The installation procedure did not begin when I inserted the Installation CD-ROM.
Possible Solution:
Some programs may keep the autolaunch feature of the Installation CD-ROM from beginning.
Close any open applications and reinsert the Installation CD-ROM.
The 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is not receiving any power.
Possible Solution:
Make sure the power supply of the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point is con-
nected to the power jack on the 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point and to a stan-
dard power outlet.

I received a message that my 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point or my com-
puter shares an IP address with another computer on the wireless network.
Possible Solution:
Each computer and 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-function Access Point on the wireless network
must have a different IP address. Refer to your computer's documentation to see how to change
