Dial-up on Demand – Modem
If you are accessing the Internet via an ISDN TA or PSTN modem attached to the serial port
on the RoamAbout R1, then you must
specify your account information as described below.
• Check if you only use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet. – If the serial port is
used for primary Internet access, select this item. If not selected, then this connection
will only be used for backup access if the primary WAN link fails.
• Dial-Up Service Phone Number – Enter the phone number your service provider has
given to you for Internet access.
• Dial-Up Account Information – Enter your ISP account user name and password.
• Assigned ISP IP address – If you are assigned a dynamic IP address every time you
dial up, select No for this item. However, if your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address
for you to use, select Yes for this item and enter the IP address and subnet mask.
DNS Configuration
Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name (e.g.,
www.enterasys.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain
name servers. Enter those addresses on the page.
Wireless Configuration
To configure the RoamAbout R1 as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either
stationary or roaming), you need to define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and
encryption options.
To set up the wireless channel and the network name, click on Wireless and then the
START button at the bottom of the first page, or you can select Channel and Network
Name and Encryption from the Setup page.
Channel and Network Name
You must specify a common radio channel and Wireless Network Name (or SSID) to be
used by the RoamAbout R1 and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of
your clients to the same values.
If your ISP has given you a secondary phone number, or if you have a
secondary Internet service account, then fill in the relevant fields under
Secondary Dial-up.
