Hardware Pre-configuration

Before adding the NWH660 to an existing Ethernet network, you may need to set basic parameters — e.g., SSID, security settings (WEP), AP name, channel number, and IP address — to make the AP compatible with the existing network.

From the AP COMFig utility:

Follow the steps below to connect the AP to a PC for configuration:

step 1. Connect the supplied RS-232 cable to the AP’s serial port and connect the other end to a serial port (COM port) on the PC.

step 2. Power up the AP.

Or from IWMS:

The NWH660’s Ethernet port supports a speed of 10 Mbps. Using regular Category 3 or higher UTP/STP cable, you can connect it directly to a hub or switch.

step 3. Connect the NWH660 and your PCs/network devices to the Ethernet hub or switch.

step 4. Power up the NWH660.
