Using Client Mode

Using Client Mode

In Client mode, the Ethernet port of the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router must be connected to the Ethernet port of the computer.

Before using Client mode, ensure that the Client mode configuration is correct. Configuration must be performed in Config mode. (Admin connections are not possible while in Client mode.) See Chapter 6, “Configuring the Router for Client Mode” for information about Client mode setup. If the configuration is correct, follow these steps to use Client mode:

1.Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port on the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router to the computer.

2.Use the mode selector switch on the side of the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router to select Client mode.

3.Wait for the restart to complete, and the Ethernet LED to come on.

4.The APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router will then connect, if possible, to the Wireless LAN specified by the current client profile.

Notes: 1. It is not possible to connect to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router while in Client mode. Specify the desired Wireless LAN using Config mode.

2.In Client mode, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is transparent; it does not have an IP address.

3.Check the properties of the computer's Ethernet connection to see if it has obtained a valid IP address.

If using Infrastructure mode (connecting to an access point) — The IP address must be a valid IP address on the LAN to which the access point is connected.

If using Ad hoc mode — The IP address should be self-assigned (“Auto-configuration”). If other computers in the Ad hoc Wireless LAN behave the same way, everyone will have compatible IP addresses.
