3.1.2  What The Access Point Does Not Provide
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is not designed to function as a Gateway to the 
Internet. To connect your Wireless LAN (WLAN) to other LANs or the Internet, you 
need a gateway device.
3.2  Administrator’s Computer
Configuration and administration of the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is accomplished 
through a Web-based user interface (UI). The Table 3.2 describes the minimum 
requirements for the administrator’s computer.
Required 
Components
Description
Ethernet Connection to the First 
Access Point
The computer used to configure the first access point must be connected to the 
access point (either directly or through a hub) by an Ethernet cable.
Wireless Connection to 
the Network
After initial configuration and launch of the first access points on your new wireless 
network, you can make subsequent configuration changes through the Administra-
tion Web pages using a wireless connection to the “Internal” network. For wireless 
connection to the access point, your administration device will need Wi-Fi capability 
similar to that of any wireless client:
• Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adaptor that supports one or more of the 
IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point. (IEEE 
802.11a802.11b802.11a802.11g802.11b802.11a Turbo802.11g 
802.11a Turbo mo
des are supported.)
• Wireless client software such as Microsoft
®
 Windows
®
 XP or Funk Odys-
sey wireless client configured to associate with the 9160 G2 Wireless Gate-
way.
