Chapter 9: TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the

installation and operation of the Access Point.

1. How do I manually find the PC’s IP and MAC Address?

1) In Windows, open the Command Prompt program

2) Type Ipconfig /all and Enter

1 Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address

2 Your PC’s MAC Address is the one entitled Physical Address

2. What is BSS ID?

A group of wireless stations and an Access Point compose a Basic

Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the

same BSSID.

3. What is ESSID?

An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability

for mobile workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an

Extended Service Set (ESS). Users within an ESS could roam freely

between BSSs while maintaining a continuous connection to the

wireless network stations and the Wireless LAN Access Points.

4. Can data be intercepted while transmitting through the air?

WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side,

as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent

scrambling security feature. On the software side, the WLAN series

offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access

control.
