INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
When connecting the AP-12 to a bridging type modem (or in bridging mode) directly, a global IP address may be assigned to the AP-12 from the modem, according to the modem settings.
When a global IP address is assigned to the AP-12, an illegal operator, such as a cracker, a hacker, may access it.
To avoid such access, connect a router between the modem and the AP-12.
The bridge type modem assigns a global IP address to the connect- ed PC (only one).
The router type modem assigns a private IP address (e.g.192.168.x.x) to the connected PCs via the HUB by the built-in routing function. The AP-12 can be connected to a router type modem directly.
Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you do not know your modem type.
About exchanging the AP-12 or the PC connected to the AP-12.
The AP-12 memorizes the communication settings between the AP- 12 and the connected PC. Thus, if the AP-12 and/or the PC con- nected to it changed, communication may fail.
In such case, turn the AP-12 power OFF. After waiting a few sec- onds, turn the power ON again.
