What Components Do I Need?
To set up a wireless network you need at least one access point and at least
one wireless client workstation (a computer with a wireless Ethernet client
device installed).
A Intel Wireless Ethernet Access Point
x
Intel Wireless Ethernet Access Point model APWE
x
Access Point power supply and power supply cord
Note: On the bottom of the Access Point there is a 12-character
alphanumeric string called the “MAC” or hardware address. This
address identifies the Access Point. Make a note of this address for
each Access Points you plan to install.
An Existing Wired Network and Wired Workstation
x
A fully installed and operational wired Ethernet local area network
(LAN) running at 10 or 100 Mbps.
x
A shielded RJ-45 cable to connect the Access Point to the wired
LAN
x
DHCP or BOOTP server support on the network (optional)—if your
network supports DHCP or BOOTP, a network IP address will be
assigned automatically to the Access Point when it is connected to
the network and powered on. Without a DHCP or BOOTP server,
you will have to manually input a network IP address for the Access
Point using the “KickStart” software supplied with the Access Point.
x
An accessible RJ-45 wall or hub connection through which to
connect the Access Point to the wired LAN
x
An accessible wall outlet or other AC power source for connection
of the Access Point power supply
x
A workstation connected to the wired LAN and equipped with a CD-
ROM drive, running Microsoft Windows 2000, 98SE, ME, 95 OSR2,
or NT, with one of the following web browsers installed: Microsoft
Internet Explore 5.0 or 5.5, Netscape Navigator 4.78 or 6.0. This
workstation is required for configuration of the Access Point and
must be connected to the same Ethernet segment or subnet as the
Access Point being installed. (The Access Point cannot be
configured from a wireless workstation.)
