2.4 Operation Range
The operation range of GR-124W depends on the actual environment. When the
device is placed in the house or in the office, the overall arrangements are different.
So the path and effect for the signal transmission are different. For example, the
outdoor straight transmission distance for some devices in the open air is up to 300
meters, and the indoor straight transmission distance is up to 100 meters.
2.5 Roaming
Suppose that several GR-124Ws run in the same network. Each GR-124W acts as
one BSS, and has its coverage. One wireless client terminal (e.g. notebook PC or
PDA) can realize roaming from one AP to another AP correctly. In that case, the
wireless client terminal can communicate with the other devices within the
GR-124Ws’ coverage.
In order to realize the wireless client roaming among different GR-124Ws, you need
to set the GR-124W properly. Do as follows:
Set the same SSID for different GR-124Ws.
The SSIDs of all the computers and PDAs should be consistent with that of
the GR-124Ws.
All the BSSs must use the same wireless channel.
If the encryption function is enabled, all the GR-124Ws should configure
the same encryption mode and the encryption key for establishing
connection.
GR-124W must keep the wireless signal cover the whole operation
environment and the wireless signal should be continuous. Please put the
GR-124Ws to the appropriate places for a better network coverage.
3 Network Configuration and Introduction to
Network Connection Modes
Web management tool allows you to configure GR-124W. The recommended
browser is Internet Explorer 5.0 version or above.
The following sections describe how to set the Internet connection, local Ethernet
connection, and wireless connection, and how to access the Web page of the
GR-124W.
