CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your P-320W v3
1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the P-320W v3.
The P-320W v3 extends the range of your existing wired network without
additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users.
It acts as a secure broadband router for all data passing between the Internet and
your local network. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g
compatible devices.
The following figure shows computers in a WLAN connecting to the P-320W v3
(A), which has a DSL connection to the Internet. The P-320W v3 has a built-in
firewall (B) to protect the network. It also has the Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature enabled by default.
Figure 1 Secure Wireless Internet Access in Router Mode
WLAN
A
The P-320W v3 can also serve as a wireless client enabling network devices to
connect to an existing wired or wireless network. Features, such as firewall and
NAT, are available. Networking devices cannot connect wirelessly to the P-320W
v3 when it is acting as a wireless client.

1.2 Ways to Manage the P-320W v3
Use any of the following methods to manage the P-320W v3.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the P-
320W v3 using a (supported) web browser.
• SNMP. Simple Network Management Protocol is a communication protocol for
collecting information from devices on the network.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-320W v3
Do the following things regularly to make the P-320W v3 more secure and to
manage the P-320W v3 more effectively.
22
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists
of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the
P-320W v3 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the P-320W v3. You
could simply restore your last configuration.

Introducing the Web
Configurator
This chapter describes how to access the P-320W v3 web configurator and
provides an overview of its screens.
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy
setup and management of the P-320W v3 via Internet browser. Use Internet
Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions or Safari 2.0
or later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled
by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter to see how to make sure these functions are
allowed in Internet Explorer.
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your P-320W v3 hardware is properly connected and prepare your
computer or computer network to connect to the P-320W v3 (refer to the Quick
Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.
