Wireless Access Point
The N800 requires a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The WAP is a device that
connects the N800 together with the SS1 System Station to create a wireless
control system. The WAP is connected directly to the router via ethernet, and
relays data between the N800 and the SS1 System Station. Wireless Routers
that combine the functions of a Router and WAP are popular options for
home networks.
NOTE: 802.11b/g standards use the unlicensed 2.4 gigahertz (GHz)
band. Operating in an unregulated frequency band, 802.11b and
802.11g equipment can incur interference from microwave ovens,
cordless phones, and other appliances using the same 2.4 GHz band.

Wireless Setup
It is essential that a functioning wireless network is set up and functioning
prior to installing the N800. The Router needs to be configured for
DHCP
so
that it provides IP addresses automatically for each component in the sys-
tem. In order to access the N800’s Internet Browser, the wireless network
must be configured to access the Internet.
Detailed instructions on wireless network setup are outside the parameters of
this manual. Please consult the documentation that accompanies the Router
and/or WAP for specific instructions.
