Chapter 4: Basic Settings

NOTES:

1.When the IP address of the extender is changed, the clients on the network often need to wait for a while or even reboot before they can access the new IP address. For immediate access to the bridge, flush the netbios cache on the client computer by running the “nbtstat –r” command before using the device name of the CPE to access its Web management page.

2.If the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Outdoor CPE is unable to obtain an IP address from a valid DHCP server, it will fall back to default static IP address.

Use Fixed IP Address: Check this option. You have to specify a static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server for the extender manually. Make sure the specified IP address is unique on your network to prevent IP conflict.

If the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Outdoor CPE is configured in Router mode, you need to configure some additional TCP/IP parameters for accessing the Internet.

Figure 4-5. TCP/IP settings (Router).

WAN Settings: Specify the Internet access method to Static IP, DHCP, or PPPOE. Users must enter WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings provided by your ISPs.

LAN Settings: When DHCP Server is disabled, users can specify the IP address and the subnet mask for the extender manually. Make sure the specified IP address is unique on your network to prevent IP conflict. When DHCP Server is enabled, users may specify DHCP IP Address Range, DHCP Subnet Mask, DHCP Gateway, and Lease Time (15-44640 minutes). DHCP relay agents forward DHCP requests and replies between clients and servers when they are not on the same physical subnet. To enable the DHCP relay agent, check the “Enable DHCP Relay” checkbox and enter the IP address of the DHCP server.

WARNING:

In AP mode, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender must establish a connection with another wireless device before it is set to Router mode. To access the unit in Router mode via a wired port, type the WAN IP address you will use to enter the Web page. The WAN is on a wired port and the LAN is on a wireless port. Or, you can access the device through the wireless device connected with the extender.

In wireless client mode, users can access the extender via its wired port. The WAN is on a wireless port and the LAN is on a wired port when the device is set to Router mode.
