CONNECTING TO A WIRED LAN
By attaching the LPS-20x to an Ethernet hub, you can connect wired computers to the public access network
(Figure 21). These computers will need to login, just as computers on the WLAN do.

BRIDGE
The LPS-20x acts as a bridge between the wireless LAN and the wired LAN. By default, for security reasons, all
traffic forwarding between the two LANs is blocked. This means that although the wired LAN and the WLAN are on
the same segment, client stations cannot communicate with each other. You can enable communications by
disabling the intelligent bridge security filters. See Configuring the Connection to the Access Controller on page 79
and Disabling the Security Filters on page 93 for more details.
IP ADDRESSING
The LPS-20x makes the connection to the wired LAN via its downstream (LAN/Craft) port. The downstream port
shares the same IP address as the wireless port. This means that the wireless LAN and the wired LAN must always
be on the same subnet.
