Chapter 8

Access Point Mode

This Chapter explains configuration and operation when in "Access

Point".

Overview

There are two modes available on the

Access Point

screen.



Router

- In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all

your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP ad-

dress and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.



Access Point

- The device links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The

Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the same network,

and can communicate with each other without regard for whether they are con-

nected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection.

This Chapter describes operation while in

Access Point Mode

.

Management Connections



You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses to the

Wireless clients using this Access Point.



This AP must be a valid device on your LAN, to allow management connections.

You must assign a (fixed) IP address which is within the address range used on

your LAN, but not within the address range used by your DHCP server.

When you connect in future, just connect normally, using the IP address you as-

signed.

1.

Start your WEB browser.

2. In the

Address

box, enter "HTTP://" and the current IP Address of the Wireless

Router, as in this example with the default IP Address:

HTTP://192.168.0.1

3.

When prompted for the User name and Password, enter admin for the user

name, and the current password, as set on the password screen.

Mode

Select the desired device mode for the router:



Router

- In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet

Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP

Server, providing an IP address and related information to all

Wireless and LAN users.



Access Point

- The device links your Wireless Stations to your

wired LAN. The Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN

are then on the same network, and can communicate with each

other without regard for whether they are connected to the net-

work via a Wireless or wired connection.

After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a

few seconds. The menu will also change, depending on the mode

you are in.

IP Address

The IP Address of this device. Use the default value unless the

address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address

range.

Subnet

Mask

The Network Mask associated with the IP Address above.

Operation

Operation is automatic.



Wireless clients can connect to the Access Point if they have the correct SSID

and security, but they must obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server on

your LAN.

Note:

To use Schedule functions in Access Point mode, please make sure your

NTP settings are working under Router Mode.

Appendix A

Troubleshooting

This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.

Overview

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using

the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the sug-

gested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your

dealer for further advice.

General Problems

Problem 1:

Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.

Solution 1:

Check the following:



The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are

OK, and it is powered ON.



Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same

network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the

case.)



If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP

client), restart it.



If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using

an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and

thus compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of

192.168.0.1.

Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match

the Wireless Router.

In Windows, you can check these settings by using

Control Pan-

el-Network

to check the

Properties

for the TCP/IP protocol.

Internet Access

Problem 1:

When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.

Solution 1:

A number of things could be causing this. Try the following trouble-

shooting steps.



Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP

settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check

the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP

Address.



If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the

Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to

it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN

and power connections.)



Check the Wireless Router's status screen to see if it is working

correctly.
