Lantronix manual Configuring the WiBox 2100E, Getting Started

3: Getting Started

Configuring the WiBox 2100E

Two settings are required for the WiBox 2100E to communicate on a wireless network:

The Server (0) settings

The WLAN (4) settings

Note: Due to regulations, the country-specific setting has been removed from the setup menu and Web Manager. We provide a separate utility for changing the Country/Zone setting. The utility is called SetZone and is included in the WiBox 2100E package. It is also available for download from the Lantronix web site.

The syntax is SetZone <IP address> [<zone abbreviation>]

Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only. Following are valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with IEEE802.11b/g zones:

US=United States

CA=Canada

FR=France

SP=Spain

JP=Japan

OT=Others, such as Europe (excluding France), Asia, Africa, and Australia

1.To configure the Server settings, select 0 from the Change Setup menu and edit the following fields:

Network Mode: Select the network mode for the WiBox 2100E. Options available are Wired

Only, Wireless Only, and Bridging. (For more information on bridging, see 11: Wireless Bridging.)

Note: The bridging option is available in firmware version 6.2 and later.

Network Mode <0=Wired Only 1=Wireless Only 2=Bridging<One Host> >:

IP Address: The IP address must be set to a unique value in the network. Enter each octet and press Enter between each section.

IP Address: IP Address : ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) _

Set Gateway IP Address: The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the WiBox 2100E unit.

Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y

Gateway IP addr ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0)_

Netmask: A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host part.

Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default)(0)_

Set DNS Server IP Address: The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically. The default is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the DNS server address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. If the device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address, which will override this configured value.

Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.

Set DNS Server IP addr <N> ?
