LAN/Wi-Fi Configuration
Rev 1 Oct.13 85
Wi-Fi
ALEOS provides Wi-Fi configuration capabilities and support for GX Series
devices with a Wi-Fi X-Card installed.
This Wi-Fi X-Card works in one of three modes supported in ALEOS:
• Access Point (AP)
• Client
• Both (AP + Client)
Select the Wi-Fi mode to be displayed. The configuration options vary, depending
on the mode selected.
Note: Wi-Fi fields appear ONLY if the Wi-Fi X-Card is installed in the AirLink GX Series
device.
To configure the Wi-Fi settings:
1. In ACEmanager, go to LAN/WiFi > WiFi.

Host Network Subnet
Mask 2 and Host
Network Subnet Mask 3
The subnet for the applicable network. For example, 255.255.255.0, which would with
the setting above define a secondary network of 192.168.10.0/24.
Host Network 2 Route
and Host Network 3
Route
Indicates what type of router is being used for the host network. If it is a traditional router
which handles ARP for addresses on its subnet, select Ethernet. If it is a “dumb” gateway
which is a conduit to a subnet but does not handle any ARP, select Gateway.
When Gateway is selected, ALEOS will ARP for the destination address and send it to
the defined Host Network Gateway address.
Host Network 2
Gateway and Host
Network 3 Gateway
The IP address of the 'dumb' Gateway. This should be left as 0.0.0.0 if the Host Network
Route is Ethernet.
Many routers respond to ARP requests for subnets behind the router. The default is
Ethernet, which means that you do not have to configure the gateway IP. For those
routers that do not respond to ARP requests for subnets, you need to enter the gateway
address.
