This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of the Access Point.

1. How do I manually find the PC’s IP and MAC Address?

1) In Windows, open the Command Prompt program

2)Type Ipconfig /all and Enter

1 Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address

2 Your PC’s MAC Address is the one entitled Physical Address

2.What is BSS ID?

A group of wireless stations and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSSID.

3.What is ESSID?

An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability for mobile workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). Users within an ESS could roam freely between BSSs while maintaining a continuous connection to the wireless network stations and the Wireless LAN Access Points.

4.Can data be intercepted while transmitting through the air? WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent scrambling security feature. On the software side, the WLAN series offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access control.
