20CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ETHERNET ADAPTER

Attaching An

The Ethernet Adapter has two internal diversity dual-band antennas.

External Antenna

If you want to increase the range of the Ethernet Adapter, an external

 

 

antenna can be attached to the external antenna connector on the

 

Ethernet Adapter.

 

The Enterasys Networks-approved external antenna for this Ethernet

 

Adapter is the Enterasys Networks 2.4/5 GHz Omnidirectional Workgroup

 

Ethernet Adapter Antenna. For more information, go to

Determining if you

If your network has a DHCP server and no special security requirements,

Need to Configure

you can most likely use the Ethernet Adapter just as it is shipped from the

the Ethernet

factory.

Adapter

It takes approximately one to two minutes for the Ethernet Adapter to

 

 

determine if there is a DHCP server on the network.

 

View the Ethernet Adapter’s default settings on page 22 to determine

 

whether or not you need to configure the Ethernet Adapter for your

 

network. If the factory defaults meet your requirements, you can connect

 

the Ethernet Adapter as described in “Connecting the Ethernet Adapter”

 

on page 15.

 

If your network does not have a DHCP server or is more complex, you

 

may have to configure the Ethernet Adapter and organize devices so that

 

you can manage the wireless LAN easily and keep it secure. You can use

 

the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (Widman)

 

included on the Enterasys Networks Installation CD.

 

For non-U.S. versions of the Ethernet Adapter, you need to set the Country

 

mode. This is done when you first open the Ethernet Adapter’s Configuration

 

Management System. See “Using the Configuration Management System” on

 

page 29 for instructions.

 

Networks with a DHCP Server

 

If your network has a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned

 

to the Ethernet Adapter. It takes approximately one to two minutes for the

 

Ethernet Adapter to determine if there is a DHCP server on the network.

 

Use the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager
