The G-1000 is equipped with two reverse SMA connectors and two detachable omni-
directional 2dBi antennas to provide clear radio signal between the wireless stations and the 
access points. Refer to the Antenna Selection and Positioning Recommendations appendix for 
more information. 

The following table shows the G-1000’s coverage (in meters) using the included antennas. The 
distance may differ depending on the network environment.

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide for instructions on how to attach the antennas to the G-
1000.  

The G-1000 may be placed on a flat surface or wall mounted. 

In general, the best place for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless 
coverage area. For better performance, mount the G-1000 in a high position free of 
obstructions.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for hardware mounting procedure. 

• A computer(s) with an installed network card or an IEEE 802.11b-compliant PCMCIA 

wireless LAN card.

• To enable remote RADIUS authentication for wireless clients, you need

•

A wireless client computer running IEEE 802.1x-compliant client 
software. Currently, this is bundled with Windows XP.

•

A network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and 
accounting.

Configure your G-1000 using the Web configurator or SMT (System Management Terminal). 
You can access the SMT using Telnet.
