NDC comm NWH660 manual InstantWave 11-Mbps Wireless Access Point

Key Generation - There are two ways to generate a security key.

The first is by entering any text in the Passphrase field. Click the Generate button. For 40-bit WEP, it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select a key number from the dropdown list of the Default Key box. If you do not manually select a key, key 1 will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will be generated. Click Apply.

Another WEP key generation method is to insert the key values directly from the keyboard. Enter your own key into one of the Key 1~4 fields. Select that field number in the Default Key field. If the WEP key is enabled on the AP, all clients must use the same WEP key. Click OK.

IP:

The InstantWave NWH660 is a DHCP client. It will automatically try to get IP settings from a DHCP server on the LAN. If it fails to get IP settings from a DHCP server, it will assign itself an IP address in the 169.254.x.x range.

From the IP panel (Figure 12), you can assign an NWH660 a fixed IP address by unchecking the Obtain IP from DHCP box. This lets you view or modify the access point’s TCP/IP address, configure its subnet mask, or add a default gateway (see note below).

Note: An AP will send SNMP response packets (confirmation packets) directly to an IWMS PC if the two devices are on the same TCP/IP subnet. If an SNMP response packet from an AP is destined for an IWMS PC on another subnet, the SNMP response packet needs to go through a router or similar gateway. The Default Gateway setting is the IP address of such a gateway. If you set the correct default gateway, then you can use an IWMS PC physically located on a different subnet to manage this AP.
