3.3 Wireless Client Computers
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway provides wireless access to any client with a properly con-
figured Wi-Fi client adaptor for the 802.11 mode in which the access point is running.
Multiple client operating systems are supported. Clients can be laptops or desktops, personal
digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped
with a Wi-Fi adaptor and supporting drivers.
In order to connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware de-
scribed in Table 3.3.
Wireless Connection to the
Network
After initial configuration and launch of the first access points on your new wireless network,
you can make subsequent configuration changes through the Administration Web pages
using a wireless connection to the “Internal” network. For wireless connection to the access
point, your administration device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any
wireless client:
• Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adaptor that supports one or more of the IEEE
802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point. (IEEE 802.11a,
802.11b802.11a, 802.11g802.11b, 802.11a Turbo802.11g 802.11a Turbo
modes are supported.)
• Wireless client software such as Microsoft

wireless client configured to associate with the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway.
For more details on Wi-Fi client setup, see “Wireless Client Computers” on page 31.
Web Browser / Operating
System
Configuration and administration of the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway is provided through a
Web-based user interface hosted on the access point. We recommend using one of the fol-
lowing supported Web browsers to access the access point Administration Web pages:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or 6.x (with up-to-date patch level for
either major version) on Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 2000
• Netscape
®
Mozilla 1.7.x on Redhat Linux version 2.4
The administration Web browser must have JavaScript enabled to support the interactive
features of the administration interface. It must also support HTTP uploads to use the firm-
ware upgrade feature.
Security Settings
Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used to initially configure the access
point.
