Chapter 3 Access Point Mode Configuration

This chapter shows you how to configure your ZyAIR in access point mode.

3.1Introduction

In access point mode, your ZyAIR functions as an access point. This allows you to set up your wireless networks without using a dedicated AP device. Up to 15 wireless stations can associate to the ZyAIR.

3.1.1 Additional Setup Requirements

To bridge your wired and wireless network using the ZyAIR, the following requirements must be met:

1.The ZyAIR must be installed on a computer connected to the wired network.

2.Either configure network sharing (refer to the appendix for an example) or bridge the two interfaces (wireless and wired) on the computer.

3.Set the wireless station’s IP address to be in the same subnet as the computer in which the ZyAIR is installed. Refer to the Setting Up Your Computer’s IP Address appendix.

3.2The Profile Screen

Select the Access Point Mode and wait for about five seconds to display the screen as shown.
