4-2 Access Point Quick Setup

Table 4-1 Access Point Operation Mode

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Wireless Access

Bridge/Router

If you select Access Point in Operating Mode, see Figure 2-3, then you can

select either Wireless Access Bridge or Wireless Access Router in Operation

Mode (for the Wireless Access Router option, the Ethernet connection type will

have to be specified).

PPP over Ethernet

(PPPoE)

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection.

Therefore you’ll also need a username and password and possibly the PPPoE

service name. Your ISP will give you all needed information.

Dynamic IP Address

(DHCP Client)

Choose Dynamic IP Address (DHCP Client) if you would like the ZyAIR to obtain

an IP address automatically each time you log on.

Static IP Address

(Fixed IP)

The ZyAIR is assigned a static IP address in this case. IP addresses for the inside

hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP.

4.2.1 IP Address Assignment

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the

Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts

without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following

three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.

Table 4-2 Private IP Address Ranges

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you

belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the

Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,

you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
