Netgear WAG302v2- ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless Access Point Installationsanleitung

)NSTALLATION

Please refer to the Reference Manual on your Resource CD for instructions on advanced 
configuration options. 

Tip: Before mounting the WAG302 in a high location, first set up and test the WAG302 to 
verify wireless network connectivity.

a.

Unpack the box and verify the contents.

b.

Prepare a PC with an Ethernet 
adapter. If this PC is already part 
of your network, record its 
TCP/IP configuration settings. 
Configure the PC with a static IP 
address of 192.168.0.210 and 
255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

c.

Connect an Ethernet cable from 
the WAG302 to the PC (point A in 
the illustration).

d.

Securely insert the other end of the 
cable into the WAG302 Ethernet 
port (point B in the illustration).

e.

Turn on your computer, connect the power adapter to the WAG302 and verify 
the following:

•

Power. The power light should be lit. If the power light is not lit, check the 
connections and check to see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall 
switch that is turned off.

•

Test. The test light blinks when the WAG302 is first turned on. 

•

LAN. The LAN light on the WAG302 should be lit (amber for a 10 Mbps 
connection and green for a 100 Mbps connection). If not, make sure the 
Ethernet cable is securely attached at both ends.

•

Wireless. The WLAN lights (e.g., 802.11a and 802.11g) should be lit. 

a.

Configure the WAG302 Ethernet port for LAN access.

•

Connect to the WAG302 by opening your browser and entering 
http://192.168.0.230 in the address field.

•

When prompted, enter admin for the user name and 
password for the password, both in lower case letters.

•

Click the Basic Settings link and configure the IP Settings for your network.

b.

Configure the wireless interface for wireless access. See the online help or the 
Reference Manual for full instructions.

c.

Test wireless connectivity using a PC with a wireless adapter configured 
according to the wireless settings you just set in the WAG302 to establish a 
wireless connection to the WAG302.

Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WAG302 in 
your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to 
its original TCP/IP settings.

1.

Disconnect the WAG302 and position it where you will deploy it. The best location is 
elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of your 
wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.

2.

Position the antenna. Vertical positioning provides best side-to-side coverage. 
Horizontal positioning provides best top-to-bottom coverage.

3.

Connect an Ethernet cable from your WAG302 Access Point to a LAN port on your 
router, switch, or hub.

4.

Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in 
to a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN lights should light up.

Tip: The WAG302 supports Power Over Ethernet (PoE). If you have a switch that 
provides PoE, you will not need to use the power adapter to power the WAG302. This 
can be especially convenient when the WAG302 is installed in a high location far 
away from a power outlet.

Using a computer with an 802.11a/g wireless adapter, verify connectivity by using a 
browser such as Netscape® or Internet Explorer to connect to the Internet, or check for 
file and printer access on your network.

Note: If you cannot connect, see to Troubleshooting Tips in this guide or the Reference 
Manual on the Resource CD for ProSafe Wireless Access Point.
