DESCRIPTION
Get from DHCP
Server
Click this to deploy the NBG as an access point in the network.
When you enable this, the NBG gets its IP address from the network’s DHCP server (for
example, your ISP). Users connected to the NBG can now access the network (i.e., the
Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address assigned
by the DHCP server to the NBG. You need to reset the NBG to be able to access the Web
Configurator again (see
Section 25.7 on page 164
for details on how to reset the NBG).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG in the field below.
Use Defined
LAN IP Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG. Or if your ISP or network
administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet.
IP Address
Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2. If you
change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.
IP Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG will
automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless
you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG.
Default
Gateway
Enter a
Default
Gateway
IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave you one) in
this field.
DNS Assignment
First DNS
Server
Second DNS
Server
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the NBG's
WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that
the ISP assigns.
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP
address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined
, but leave the IP address set to
0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS
server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the NBG.
Reset
Click

Universal Repeater Mode
9.1
Overview
In universal repeater mode, your NBG can act as an access point and wireless client at the same
time. The NBG can connect to an existing network through another access point and also lets
wireless clients connect to the network through it. This helps you expand wireless coverage when
you have an access point or wireless router already in your network.
In the example below, the NBG (
A
) is configured as a universal repeater. It has three clients that
want to connect to the Internet. The NBG wirelessly connects to the available access point (
B
).
Figure 46
Universal Repeater Mode
After the NBG and the access point connect, the NBG acquires its IP address from the access point.
The clients of the NBG can now surf the Internet.
9.2
What You Can Do
•
Use the
Status
screen to view read-only information about your NBG (
Section 9.5 on page 64
).
•
Use the
AP Select
screen to choose an access point that you want the NBG to connect to. You
should know the security settings of the target AP (
Section 9.6 on page 67
).
•
Use other
Wireless LAN
screens to configure the wireless settings and wireless security
between the wireless clients and the NBG.
•
Use the
LAN
screen to set the IP address for your NBG acting as an access point (
Section 8.5 on
page 60
).

After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and
type “http://192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.
