System Conguration
General
The System Conguration—General page for the 3e-531AP gateway
lists the rmware Version for your 3e-531AP and allows you to set the
Host Name and Domain Name as well as establish system date and time.
(Host and Domain Names are both set at the factory for “default” but can
optionally be assigned a unique name for each.) When you are satised
with your changes, click Apply.
Go next to the System Conguration—WAN page.
WAN
This screen allows you to set Link Speed and Duplex of the WAN
port. If you select a choice other than Auto (the default), the 3e-531AP
will use only the selected link speed (10 Mbits/sec or 100 Mbits/sec) and
Duplex (Half Duplex transfers or Full Duplex transfers) that you select in
the WAN/LAN Link dropdown menu.
You also set information for how the IP address will be obtained.
The WAN IP address is the Public IP address required to link the pri-
vate WLAN users to the external enterprise or shipboard network, which
is to be outside the “protected” wireless LAN. Normally, you will be
provided with the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS
to assign by the Network Administrator for the Ethernet Network.
There are two ways to congure the WAN IP address:
Obtain an IP address Automatically – This conguration allows the
Ethernet network to use the DHCP server on the wired network to dy-
namically assign the WAN IP address to the DHCP client in the gateway.
Specify an IP address – This conguration allows the user to manu-
ally type in a static IP address, default gateway, and Domain Name Server
(DNS) if these are provided by the Ethernet network administrator.
