To use the Wireless Mobile Router, required system elements are as follows:
•A computer that runs a Microsoft®
•A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer® 5.0 or above, installed on one computer at the site for configuring the APC
•For wireless LAN connections, each computer must have a wireless network adapter installed
•Internet access from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL), cable modem, or Large Area Network (LAN) with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service (protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP)
•TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer in order to configure the Router or to access the Internet
Modes
The APC
•Access Point (AP) mode (switch position 1) to act as a wireless bridge between an existing LAN and a wireless user. It inherits the profile (security, user, etc.) of the existing LAN
•AP/Router mode (switch position 2) to act as a wireless networking device that connects networks by a wireless connection and create specific profiles, such as security and users
•Config (Configuration) mode (switch position 3) to connect to the APC
•Client mode (switch position 4) to convert an Ethernet port to a wireless interface
Security Alert: When in a location, such as a hotel or airport, that requires payment to connect to the Internet, APC recommends using “AP/Router” mode (switch position 2) with security set to WEP, WPA, or MAC filtering. These settings help to avoid any unauthorized access and charges. For more information on security and mode selection, see the user’s manual.
