DIP Switches
The DIP switches are used to make AP settings.
The default setting for the utility software gives priority to the DIP
switch settings. The factory setting for all DIP switches is OFF.
At the factory, the unit is set to Ad Hoc Mode. The unit can be
used with the factory settings, by setting only the DIP switches.
However, security is not assured.
Table 2.5. DIP Switches
Used to initialize APs.
When this switch is turned on, the POWER, WLNK, and
WRX LED will start flashing.
If this switch is turned off while the LED's are flashing
(about 3 seconds, then all AP settings will be restored to default
values after the next startup.)
If this switch is on, the AP can operate without an IP address.
However the utility software cannot use the SNMP agent functions.
This switch sets the unit type.
It is valid when operating in infrastructure (standard mode).
AP… Controls APs used on other user units or STs.
ST… Treated as a user unit (controlled by (logged in) AP).
This switch sets the mode.
INFRA… Selects infrastructure (standard mode).
All wireless terminals communicate through unit type AP.
ADHOC… Selects ADHOC (simple mode).
All terminal are paired, communicate only as paired units.
All switches are set to OFF at factory.
