The Ethernet Adapter has two internal diversity dual-band antennas.  

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 

If your network has a DHCP server and no special security requirements, 
you can most likely use the Ethernet Adapter just as it is shipped from the 
factory. 

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.

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.
