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

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 Net work Administrator for the Ethernet Network.

There are two ways to con gure the WAN IP address:

namically as sign the WAN IP ad dress to the DHCP client in the gate way.

This con  g u ra tion allows the user to man u -

al ly type in a static IP address, default gateway, and Domain Name Server

(DNS) if these are provided by the Ethernet network ad min is tra tor.
