Microsoft Windows 2000/Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), XP/Windows NT 4.0 Introduction 5 Introduction to Wireless Networks 4 Introduction to Wireless Networks A wireless network connects computers to each other using radiotechnology which allows you the freedom to move around the area and work anywhere within reach of an Access Point. The Actiontec 802.11b Wireless Access Point can be connected to a wired network. This allows communication between the wired network and computers using Actiontec 802.11b Wireless PC Cards. The technology is an extension to the exist- ing Ethernet networking standard, so you can connect the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point to an existing Ethernet network. Adding Access Points to your network Placement and connection of the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point depends entirely on your specific (network) environment. The Actiontec 802.11b Access Point can be used for the following configurations: Creating a wireless network. Extending an existing wireless network. Connecting to a single computer. Creating a wireless network Your Actiontec 802.11b Access Point can be used to setup a wireless network as shown on figure 1. Follow the steps below to create a wireless network. Introduction to Wireless Networks Figure 1. Creating a Wireless Network Note: Refer to the appropriate user manual for successful installation of your wireless network. 1. Prepare one computer that you will want to connect wirelessly. (Install wireless network card and software). 2. Configure the IP settings for this client computer. 3.Install the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point. 4. Your 802.11b wireless network is now ready. 5. For further functionality and security, the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point can be configured using the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point KickStart software utility and the Web Interface. 6. Install other client computers if this is applicable to your environment. Extending a wired network with one or more Actiontec 802.11b Access Points When the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point is used as an extension to a wired net- work (figure 2), please make sure that the current wired network is completely functional. Note: Refer to the appropriate user manual for successful installation of your wireless network. Follow these steps to extend you wired network: 1. Install the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point and connect it to your wired network. 2. You can now use the wireless network. Figure 2. Extending a Wired Network 7 Installing the Actiontec 802.11b Access Point This equipment is designed with utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electronic equipment. All guidelines of this manual and of the computer manufacturer must therefore be followed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment. Physical installation of the Actiontec 802.11b Wireless Access Point For best performance, and range, the Actiontec 802..11b Access point needs to be placed in an upright vertical position with the antennae extended u…

Device Overall Description The 802AI is designed to provide IEEE 802.11b complianted WLAN Access Point application. It is a long- range, high performance LAN product, which provides Access Point services to a 2,4 GHz RF net-work and bridges to an Ethernet backbone. The design is based on Intersil ISL3865 Access point Controller, which implements the full IEEE802.11b standard date rates up to 11Mbps. Block Diagram The access point product is based on ISL3865CK module, It is an Arm940 core controller with an onboard MAC to Ethernet(10/100 Base T) interface. The ISL3856 directly interfaces with the Intersil HFA386x family of Baseband Processors, offering a complete end-to-end IEEE 802.11b compliant chip set solution for wireless LAN products. Protocol and PHY support are implemented in firmware to allow custom protocol and different PHY transceivers. The ISL3856 is a Harvard architecture cached processor. The separate instruction and data caches in this design are 4K bytes each in size with a four-word line length. A protection unit allows the memory to be segmented and protected in a simple manner. There is no virtual physical address mapping. Write-back cache schemes and write buffers are used to optimize performance and minimize bus traffic thus reducing system power consumption. This Processor Core is implemented using a five-stage pipeline consisting of fetch, decode, execute, memory and write stages. Firmware implements the full IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN MAC protocol. It supports Infrastructure mode BSS operation under DCF, and operation under the optional Point Coordiantion Function (PCF). All low-level 802.11 functions are handled by firmware. Additional firmware functions specific to access point applications are also available. The ISL3856 is the industry's first Access Point on a chip, which implements both the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol and the MAC bridging function, which in alternative solutions requires a separate external processor. For network management, an SNMP agent is implemented for access to the MIB. Designing wireless protocol systems using the ISL3856 is made easier with Intersil supplied firmware, software device drivers, and complete documentation. ISL3865CK Intersil,ARM MAC processor.
