American Power Conversion 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router user manual Config Mode, Client Mode

Modes

Use AP/Router mode in any of the following situations:

•The Ethernet port is connected to a broadband modem rather than an Ethernet port.

•There is permission for ONLY ONE (1) user to connect to the LAN or WAN, but multiple user connections are required. (In AP/Router mode, the IP address on the Ethernet port is shared by all wireless clients.)

Notes: 1. AP/Router mode uses a technology called “NAPT” (Network Address Port Translation), and NAPT may cause problems with some complex multi-user communication applications. (There is no problem with common services such as HTTP, FTP, E-mail, etc.). Should problems occur, try getting permission for all users to connect to the LAN/WAN and use AP mode instead.

2.It is possible to connect to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router and change its configuration while it is AP/Router mode.

The IP address used is the wireless LAN IP address, which can be set on the AP/Router Setup screen. The default value is 192.168.0.1 (the same as the Config mode IP address); however, this address can be modified as needed.

Note: Users must change the wireless LAN IP address if the LAN/WAN is using the address range 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.0.254.

Client Mode

Figure 4. Client Mode Configuration

Client mode is used with PC game consoles that have an existing Ethernet connection, In Client mode, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is connected to the Ethernet port of the computer (or other device), and will connect to a wireless LAN. This has the effect of converting the Ethernet port to a wireless interface.

Note: In Client mode, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is transparent; it has no IP address.
