External Components

This section describes the back and front panels of the Wireless Gateway in details.

Back Panel

Following are explanations of the items on the Wireless Gateway's back panel:

Antennae: The antennae at the back panel carry radio-frequency signals between wireless stations and the Wireless Gateway's wireless bridge (the interface between the wireless and wired parts of the LAN).

Reset button: Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and the LPT LED begins to flash. Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed continuously for three seconds or when the LPT LED begins to light up. Release the reset button and the LPT LED will begin to flash indicating the Wireless Gateway is changing to factory reset. When factory reset is completed the Wireless Gateway will be set to default on channel 11 with default IP address as 192.168.0.254 and EES-ID is set as ‘default’.

DC Input: For connection to the DC 5V power adapter.

Uplink port: For connecting the Wireless Gateway to an upstream hub or switch with an ordinary “straight-through” (as opposed to cross-wired) Ethernet cable. This port and the LAN port next to it cannot be used at the same time; they are simply differently wired ports for LAN port 1.
