How to Use this Guide

InstantWave High Rate is extremely versatile in providing varying levels of network management. For Small Office/Home Office users, setup and configuration is a quick, four-step process. The Access Point Hardware Installation section, on page 8, provides simple instructions to get your network up and running within minutes. Go to the Access Point Hardware Installation section if your network will meet the following criteria:

•You will accept all default values

•Your network will have only one Access Point

The AP COMFig tool, see page 11, permits AP configuration from a PC via a COM port connection. The program enables the user to change the default Access Point IP configuration settings before introducing a new AP to an already established wireless network.

Before using the setup tool, you should read through the next section ‘Planning Your Network’, in order to get the best possible performance from your InstantWave High Rate wireless network.
