How to Use this Guide

The User’s Guide gives complete instructions for installation and use of the InstantWave Access Point (AP), Wireless Workgroup Bridge (WWB) and Wireless Ethernet Client (WEC). All of them share a common user interface. The major difference among them is:

•The AP has MAC address access control of the wireless stations

•The WWB‘s supports up to 16 Ethernet devices. An access table is provided by the WWB to allow 16 Ethernet devices’ MAC addresses to be registered.

•The WEC supports one Ethernet attached device.

InstantWave products are supplied with factory set default network settings. Use the IWMS tool to change the default settings before introducing a new device to an already-established wireless network.

The IWMS program is a simple-to-use, yet extremely powerful, SNMP-based utility for online central configuration and network management from a remote station on the same subnet. A trap management program is also provided to monitor/diagnose InstantWave products.
