Part 1: Product description The IBM High Rate W ireless LAN Gateway provides small of fices and home offices (SOHO) an economical way to connect a small local ar ea network (LAN) to the Internet using an external DSL/Cable modem. W ith its built-in wireless access point, you can connect your IEEE 802.
v DMZ : The IBM High Rate W ireless LAN Gateway can support some special applications and Internet games. W ith DMZ, one designated computer is removed fr om behind the built-in firewall and exposed to the Internet. This speeds up Internet gaming and might be requir ed from special applications.
v One IBM High Rate W ireless LAN Gateway unit v One AC power supply v One power cord Note: In the event that your Gateway comes with two power cords, be sur e to use the one labeled for your country . One is labeled for use in the United States and Canada, and one is labeled for use in Japan.

Part 3: Setting up the wireless access point in the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway The IBM High Rate W ireless LAN Gateway is a multifunctional device with an integrated IEEE 802.1 1b-compliant W iFi certified access point. Y ou can use it as a base station for your wireless network.
Channels are the spectrum range wher e your wir eless signals are transmitted. The clearer the channel, the better your network performance. Y ou can select the desired channel fr om the pull-down menu. W ired equivalency privacy (WEP) encrypts the packets sent by the wireless Gateway .
Wireless Settings - Advanced Request to send (R TS) Threshold: In some situations, not all clients in a WLAN are awar e of each other (hidden node problem). That can lead to dif fer ent WLAN clients transmitting to the Gateway at the same time, therefor e jamming both transmissions.
Wireless Settings - MAC Control Setup After you enable the MAC access limit function, then you can determine the access mode. In IEEE 802.1 1b-compliant devices, the MAC address is a means of controlling network access. MAC addresses can be found in the package of the network interface card (NIC).
Block or Allow: Y ou can list specific MAC addresses to block or allow in this window . Blocking a specific MAC address will allow everyone else with the correct settings to access the LAN and the Gateway . Allowing a specific MAC address will allow only that MAC addr ess access to the LAN and Gateway as long as WEP and ESSID ar e correct.
