DHCP Server also provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client.

Oper

The DHCP Server function is enabled by default. Select Disable DHCP Server

to disable this function.

You will want to disable the DHCP Server when your Network is already using

another DHCP Server. You can only use one DHCP Server.

ditional DNS

The fields for secondary and tertiary DNS IP Addresses are optional and

should only be completed if provided by your ISP.

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows PCs on your Network to share a

single external (Internet) IP Address. This IP Address is supplied by your ISP.

Use the following to determine if you need NAT:

•

For Internet access, NAT

must be enabled

unless all of the PCs on your

Network have valid external (or public) IP Addresses.

•

If the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router is not being used to provide shared

Internet access, NAT is not normally necessary. With NAT disabled, the

Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router will act as a static router.

•

If NAT is disabled, the Firewall protection provided by the Wireless AP +

Cable/DSL Router is lost and the Advanced Features (Special Applications,

Access Control, Virtual Servers, DMZ, and Routing) are no longer avail-

able.

• SSID (Service Set Identifier).

All Wireless devices in your Network must

use the same SSID. Make sure that this field reflects the correct SSID for your

network.

• Channel No:

All Wireless devices in your Network must use the same SSID.

Make sure that this field reflects the correct channel for your network. Should

you experience any interference, you may need to experiment with different

channels to establish a better connection.

WEP

Data Pri

acy

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit

or 128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11b standard.

Using a 128-bit shared key algorithm will increase network security. However,

you may experience decreased network performance when using a 128-bit

shared key algorithm.

• Off - no data encryption.

When WEP is turned off, data will not be encrypt-

ed before being transmitted, compromising security.

• 64 Bit Encryption using this key table.

For your wireless Network to utilize

WEP encryption, an encryption key must be entered fields. All wireless

devices on your Network must utilize the same encryption key and all keys

must be set identically.

• Default Key.

Select the algorithm key to be used in your 64-bit WEP-enabled

wireless Network.

• 128 Bit Encryption using this key.

For your wireless Network to utilize WEP

encryption, an encryption key must be entered fields. All wireless devices on

your Network must utilize the same encryption key and all keys must be set

identically.

The WEP keys (1 - 4) are five two-digit numerals in length and can be any

numeric combination. However, these keys must be used identically for each

point on your wireless Network.
