8 2.1 Configuration Examples 2.1.1 Wireless Access Bridge 9 2.1.2 Wireless Access Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection 1. Set the Outdoor AP as a bridge (bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1). 2. Set Wireless parameters on Outdoor AP: Channel (1) and SSID (wireless) 3. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3: SSID (wireless). 4. Left side stations are transparent to the right side network. 5. DHCP server assigns IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3. 1.

Set the Outdoor AP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface and turn off NAT on Wireless interface). 1. Set the Outdoor AP as a Router (Wireless Interface IP is 192.168.1.1, Ethernet Interface IP is 192.168.2.1, must turn on NAT on Ethernet Interface and turn off NAT on Wireless interface, default route is 192.168.2.

12 13 Chapter 3. Initial Configuration This chapter describes how to easy setup and configure the Wireless Broadband Access Point (AP) initially. The AP can be configured into a bridge and a broadband wireless router to meet different applications. Users can use a wired LAN-attached computer to configure the AP through a web browser or a telnet session on a LAN computer. In this chapter, we only describe how to quickly configure the AP with a web browser.

14 3.2 Configure the AP The AP can be configured into four operation modes: 1. 2. 3. 4. 15 Outdoor Wireless Bridge Outdoor Wireless Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection Outdoor Wireless Router with dynamic IP address Ethernet Outdoor Wireless Router with static IP address Ethernet The AP is shipped with default configuration is as a bridge between an Ethernet and wireless network. Users simply need to attach the AP to your wired LAN.

18 19 Hint1: Make sure interface 4 within status Disable. Hint2: Choice the NAT (PAT) in every interfaces to enable NAT service. For example, make sure PPPoE interface within NAT (PAT) On and others are Off, it means that every communications through the PPPoE interface needs NAT transfer. 4. The AP supports PPPoE auto dial-up, please make sure your default route is zero. In here, click Basic Config, and then select System as shown in Figure 3-9.

28 3.5 Configure DHCP server 29 3.6 Configure Virtual Server Sometimes, the operator want to managing a large TCP/IP network requires maintaining accurate and up-to-date IP address and domain name information. In this situation, it needs manually configure and enable the DHCP server service. Sometimes, the operator can expose the internal servers on the local intranet to the public Internet. For this, you must create the Virtual Server Mapping for these invisible internal servers. 1.
