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.
