Chapter 3: Network Planning
The wireless AP/Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It
can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to
extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a
wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs.
This chapter explains some of the basic features of the wireless AP/Router and
shows some network topology examples in which the device is implemented.
Internet Gateway Router
The wireless AP/Router can connect directly to a cable or DSL modem to provide an
Internet connection for multiple users through a single service provider account.
Users connect to the wireless AP/Router either through a wired connection to a LAN
port, or though the device%s own wireless network. The wireless AP/Router functions
as an Internet gateway when set to Gateway Mode.
An Internet gateway employs several functions that essentially create two separate
Internet Protocol (IP) subnetworks; a private internal network with wired and
wireless users, and a public external network that connects to the Internet. Network
traffic is forwarded, or routed, between the two subnetworks.

The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to
local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping
the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address.
The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client,
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and static IP for connection to an
Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem.
LAN Access Point
The wireless AP/Router can provide an access point service for an existing wired
LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The wireless AP/Router
functions as purely an access point when set to Bridge Mode. When used in this
mode, there are no gateway functions between the WAN port and the LAN and
wireless interface.
A Wi-Fi wireless network is defined by its Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network
name. Wireless clients that want to connect to a network must set their SSID to the
same SSID of the network service. The wireless AP/Router supports two separate
wireless interfaces, that is two SSIDs or Virtual Access Points (VAPs). The two VAP
interfaces can be configured separately to support different security settings or other
wireless functions.

Wireless Bridge
The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge
connections between access points. The wireless AP/Router can use WDS to
forward traffic on links between units.
A single WDS bridge link can be specified for the WLAN1 interface. One end of a
link must be configured as the WDS Parent! and the other as the WDS Child.!
Note: The network domain of WDS child has to be the same as WDS parent.

Chapter 4: Initial Configuration
The wireless AP/Router offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for
the configuration of all the unit%s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above).
This chapter describes the wireless AP/Router%s configurable features, all of which
may be accessed through the web interface.
It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly
to one of the wireless AP/Router's LAN ports. The wireless AP/Router has a default
IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to
"Obtain an IP address automatically# (that is, set as a DHCP client), you can connect
immediately to the web interface. Otherwise, you must set your PC IP address to be
on the same subnet as the wireless AP/Router (that is, the PC and wireless AP/
Router addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:
1.Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the
default IP address of 192.168.2.1.
2.Log into the wireless AP/Router management interface by entering the default
username "admin# and password "smcadmin#, then click OK.
Note: It is strongly recommended to change the default user name and password the
first time you access the web interface. For information on changing user names
