This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part15 of the FCC rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

The radiated output power of the Extron Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits. The Extron Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Extron Unit IC ID: IC: 10862A-EXT60150801

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

This radio transmitter (IC:10862A-EXT60150801) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Type: Dipole

Maximum Peak Gain: 2 dBi

Impedance: 50 Ohm

IP Address: Enter an IP address. Subnet Mask: Enter the corresponding subnet mask. Default Gateway: Enter the corresponding gateway address. DNS Server: Enter the corresponding DNS server address.

3 DHCP Server Setup Panel

• Auto (default setting): If a DHCP server is available on the network, the

ShareLink 200 uses an IP address assigned by the server. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, the ShareLink 200 uses its internal DHCP server to assign IP addresses to network devices. The default settings are as follows: Start IP:

192.168.254.11, End IP: 192.168.254.100, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0,

Default Gateway: 192.168.254.254, DNS Server: 0.0.0.0

NOTE: In Auto mode, you may use the default settings above or customize the

settings, if needed.

• Disable: Disables the internal DHCP server.

ShareLink 200, as well as basic data management between the wireless LAN and the ethernet LAN.

NOTE: Regardless of which GateKeeper setting is selected, users can connect to

the ShareLink 200 through its internal wireless access point.

• All Pass: Users connected to the wireless LAN can connect to the ShareLink

200 and can access the wired (ethernet) LAN.

• All Block: Users connected to the wireless LAN can connect to the

ShareLink 200, but cannot access the wired LAN. All data is blocked, including port 80, which is typically used for internet access.

• Internet Only: Users connected to the wireless LAN can connect to the

ShareLink 200 and can access port 80 (for internet access only). All other data is blocked.

2 Mode Panel

There are three Wi-Fi modes for the ShareLink 200:

• AP (Access Point) mode (see AP (Access Point) mode on the next page)

• Client mode (see Client mode on page 36)

• AP/Client mode (see AP/Client mode on page 36)

ShareLink 200 • Using the Embedded Web Pages 34

Page 43

AP (Access Point) mode

In AP mode, the ShareLink 200 is configured as a wireless access point. If the ShareLink is wired to the network, wireless devices may access the network by connecting to the ShareLink through Wi-Fi.

Figure 36. Access Point Mode

When AP mode is selected, the Access Point panel is shown with the following options:

• SSID: displays the default SSID of the ShareLink 200 unit. To change the SSID, type in

the desired SSID and click Apply.

• SSID Broadcast: makes the access point visible to wireless clients. SSID broadcast is

enabled by default. Choose Disable to disable SSID broadcast.

• 802.11 mode: default mode is 802.11 B/G/N mixed. Click the drop-down list to

display other modes for the 802.11 standard and select the preferred mode:

• Channel: set to Auto by default. The ShareLink 200 operates in the 2.4GHz

spectrum, which contains 11 Wi-Fi channels. In Auto mode, the ShareLink 200 selects the best channel to operate in. Alternatively, you may select the WiFi channel manually from the drop-down menu.

• Encryption: Click the drop-down list to display these encryption protocol options:

• Network Security Key: After selecting an encryption protocol, enter the network

security key.

• Channel Bandwidth: set to Auto by default. Each channel has a bandwidth of

20MHz or 40 MHz. In auto mode, the device automatically determines which bandwidth to use. Alternatively, you may select the 20 MHz option.

NOTE: The 40MHz bandwidth increases data throughput, but also increases the

potential for interference from adjacent channels.

Client mode

In Client mode, the ShareLink 200 scans for existing access points and connects to one as a client. In this mode, the ShareLink 200 is no longer configured as an AP and does not appear as a WAP on user devices. In order to connect to the ShareLink 200, users must connect to the LAN network.

When Client mode is enabled, the Wi-Fi Client panel is shown with the following options:

Figure 37. Client Mode

• Connect to Existing AP: Click Scan to search for available Wi-Fi networks. When

scanning is complete, a drop-down menu with available Wi-Fi networks appears

Select the desired Wi-Fi network from the drop-down menu.

• Encryption: If the access point that you are trying to connect to has encryption

enabled, you must select the encryption type from the drop-down menu and enter the network security key in Key section (below).

• Key: After selecting an encryption protocol, enter the network security key.

AP/Client mode

In AP/Client mode, the ShareLink 200 acts as both an access point (appearing as a WAP on user devices) and a client (connected to an existing access point). This allows users to connect to the ShareLink directly through its internal wireless AP, or through the existing AP.

When AP/Client mode is enabled, the Access Point panel and Wi-Fi Client panel are shown:
