WAN Configuration 4-3
The IP Address refers to the IP address that the outside world will use to address the WS2000
Wireless Switch.
Click the More IP Addresses button to specify additional static IP addresses for the switch.
Additional IP addresses are required when users within the LAN need dedicated IP addresses, or
when servers in the LAN need to be accessed (addressed) by the outside world. The pop-up window
allows the administrator to enter up to eight WAN IP addresses for the switch.
The Subnet Mask is the mask used for the WAN.
The Default Gateway is the address of the device that provides the connection to the WAN (often
a cable modem or DSL router).
The two DNS Server fields specify DNS addresses of servers that can translate domain names, such
as www.symbol.com, into IP addresses that the network uses when passing information. The
Secondary DNS Server acts as a backup to the Primary DNS Server, when the primary server
is not responding.
4.1.2 Setting Up Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) Communication
PPPoE provides the ability to connect a network of hosts through a simple device to a remote access
concentrator. Many DSL providers require that their clients communicate using this protocol. The facility
allows the ISP to control access, billing, and type of service provided to clients on a per-user or per-site basis.
Check with the network administrator or ISP to determine whether to enable this feature, and, if so, find out
the username and password required for authentication.
1. Check Enable in the PPP over Ethernet area to enable the PPPoE protocol for high-speed connections.
2. Enter the Username and Password required for authentication. The username and password is for the
switch’s router to use when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session starts, the ISP authenticates
the username.
3. Set the Idle Time to an appropriate number. This number is the amount of time the PPPoE connection
will be idle before it disconnects. The 10000 second default idle time is appropriate for most situations.
