- Security Mode: Disabled or E nabled. If enabled, the password should be
included in the printed QR code of each bench for students to connect their
mobile or laptop to the TekSmartLab network.
- Max. Associated clients: Lab server, TBX3000A on each bench and the mobile
or laptop of student connecting to the TekSmartLab network is the clients
within the network. The Max. Associated clients number must be more than the
sum of clients required. For example, if the network needs to support the
connection of 1 lab server, 2 0 benches by TBX3000A, and 20 students by
mobile, the requirement of M ax. Associated clients is >=41.
- DHCP pool: TBX3000A and the mobile or laptop of students will work in DHCP
mode. Check and setup the DHCP pool to assure that there are enough DHCP
