From Scan/Configuration Utility, select the SMCWTK-G that you would like to configure and click "Configure". You will be asked to enter the username and password to configure the SMCWTK-G. By default, the username is "admin" and the password is "smcadmin". Enter this information and click OK. 10. The default mode of SMCWTK-G is Access Point (AP) mode. To switch to Client, Repeater, Point-to-Point Bridging (P2P), or Point-to-Multipoint Bridging (PMP) mode, go to the Mode Page and select the desired mode. Then go to the Mode page and click Setup. Configure the applicable properties for that mode, such as the SSID, Channel, and Security. 12. Operating Modes 3. 1 Introduction to Operating Modes 3. 1. 1 Traveler's AP Mode The Access Point (AP) mode is by default the out-of-box operational mode. When the user resets the system to the default manufacturing settings, the operational mode also reverts to AP mode. In the AP mode, the system functions as a standard AP, where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other wireless clients or to the wired network. For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high speed internet access, the user can connect to the Internet through the AP which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room. The Client behaves like a normal wireless client. Figure 5: Client in Infrastructure Mode Figure 6: Client in Ad-Hoc Mode SMCWTK-G Client Mode SMCWTK-G Client Mode 4. Wireless Security Support The SMCWTK-G will support WEP encryption and WPA/PSK encryption as shown in Table1. Table 1: Wireless Security Mode Access Point WEP Yes WPA/PSK Yes Comments In AP mode, the SMCWTK-G acts like a regular AP. The link between the Repeater and wireless clients will support either WEP or WPA/PSK. However, the Repeater Yes No (for link between the Repeater and the AP will support only WEP in the initial release. RepeaterAP link) Yes (for RepeaterClient link) The link between SMCWTK-G devices in P2P Point-to-Point (P2P) Yes No and/or PMP mode support only WEP in the initial release. Future releases will support WPA/PSK. The link between SMCWTK-G devices in P2P Point-to-Multipoint Yes No and/or PMP mode will support only WEP in the initial release. (PMP) In Client mode, the WTK-G acts like a regular wireless client, so it will support WEP and Client Yes Yes WPA/PSK when connecting with an AP in Infrastructure mode or when connecting to an Ad-Hoc network. 5. Mode Selection The first step in using the SMCWTK-G is selecting the operating mode. [. . . ] Figure 16: Client Bridge Setup Table 18: Client Bridge Setup Field Station Mode Description Selects 802. 11g/b mode: 802. 11b only or 802. 11g/b Wireless Network Name. You can enter it directly in this SSID field or click the Site Survey button to select from a list of available networks. Channel Operation Mode Security Selects the channel (Ad-Hoc network only) Selects Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode Selects the option to disable security or to use WEP or WPA security. If using WEP or WPA, click the Setup button to enter the key(s). Preamble Type Transmit Rate Selects short or long preamble Selects the transmit rate: a fixed rate or Auto 10. 2 MAC Cloning To enable MAC cloning mode, go to the MAC Cloning field on the LAN page and select Enabled. MAC cloning clones all the MAC addresses of the devices connected to the Ethernet (wired) port to a single MAC address sent out wirelessly to an AP or Repeater. 11. [. . . ]
