Other information

Under w hat circum stances do I need to change the w ireles s channel that the Acce ss Point uses?

If the communication rate is very slow , there may be another active Access Point, an active third-party w ireless access point, or an active w ireless

station nearby, causing radio interference. Changing the w ireless channel reduces the radio interference and improves the communication rate.

The condition of the connection on the cable Ethernet side has w orsened since the PCWA-A100 Wireless LAN Access Point w as connected

to my LAN. I cannot access the Internet.

Check the Access Point configuration for the connection mode. Phone or Local Only mode may be assigned. When using the Phone or Local Only

connection modes, the Access Point serves as the DHCP server for the Ethernet LAN and assigns IP addresses from 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.17 to client

computers by default.

Change to Cable Modem or LAN connection mode.

My Access Point is connected in the Cable M odem m ode to the Ethernet LAN. File and printer sharing is available on the w irele ss

netw ork but I cannot access a com puter or printer on the Ethernet LAN.

In the Cable Modem mode, the LAN Access Point serves as a NAT router betw een the Ethernet and w ireless netw orks, w hich does not allow file

sharing and access beyond either netw ork.

The ISDN Router mode is recommended if the Access Point is connected to the Ethernet LAN environment such as a corporate netw ork.

I cannot control the dial-up connection from a com puter on the Ethernet netw ork.

Not supported.

I w ant to connect to m ultiple Access Points.

You can register up to four Access Point connection settings w ith the Wireless Palette. This w ay, you can sw itch connection from one PCWA-A100

Wireless LAN Access Point to another w ithout being troubled w ith reconfiguration each time you change the destination. How ever, you cannot connect

simultaneously to multiple Access Points.

I w ant to connect m ore than 16 clients to the Access Point.

Reset the number of clients to connect using the Custom Access Point Setup Utility.

You can set up to a maximum of 49 clients, but w e recommend 16. As the number of clients increases, the accessing speed generally decreases.

Is there a function for com m unication between tw o Access Points?

You cannot communicate betw een Access Points.

Why is it not possible to connect even though it is w ithin 100 m (330 feet)?

Be aw are that there are differences in the distances that electric w aves w ill reach their target depending on the location of the setup and the

surrounding conditions.

Generally, the ultimate distance w ill decrease if there are metallic w alls in the area because of the random reflecting of the electric w aves.

It is not possible to dialup from other computers on the Ethernet connection.

This cannot be handled.

When in the telephone line connection m ode, I cannot connect to the Internet w ith a baud rate of 56Kbps.

56Kbps is the maximum baud rate.

Depending on the telephone line, the baud rate may not be as much as 56Kbps.

Can I use it w ith Bluetooth?

The Wireless LAN that conforms to IEEE802.11b, has a shock recovery function similar to that of the normal Ethernet.

In contrasts, Bluetooth does not have such a function mounted.

Therefore, if you use both products close together, the product that conforms to IEEE802.11b w ill possibly monopolize the bandw idth.

To avoid such an occurrence, separate the tw o products for use.

Does this correspond to call-back?

Currently, it does not correspond.

Is it possible to connect to the Window s NT RAS se rver?

No.

Is there an encryption function?

This supports the 40-bit encryption function that conforms to IEEE802.11.

Is it dangerous to use this near a m icrow ave oven?

No, it is not dangerous.

Microw ave ovens also, like the Wireless LAN products that conform to IEEE802.11b, operate w ith a frequency band of 2.4 GHz.

For that reason, if you use it near a microw ave oven, the baud rate w ill decrease if you use a microw ave oven radar at the same time.

This can be said of all products that conform to IEEE802.11b.

Data transm ission speed is s low .



Is there any Wireless LAN Access Point (including other company products) being used near the Access Point? If so, it is possible that they are

interfering w ith each other.

Set the w ireless channel using the Access Point Setup Utility.



Is the Access Point being accessed by several clients at the same time?

Try again after w aiting for less crow ded conditions.

Is it possible to roam ?
