2.5. Deploying the IWE3200-H

After the settings have been configured, deploy the Router to the field application environment. You have to connect AP(s), modem(s), and RADIUS server(s) to the IWE3200-H. The system configura- tion in Fig. illustrates how to deploy the IWE3200-H.

In this configuration, one DSL/cable modem is connected to the WAN port (as WAN 1) of the IWE3200-Hand another modem is connected to the LAN 1 port (as WAN 2) of the IWE3200-H. Two APs are connected to the LAN 2 port and LAN 3 port, respectively. Finally, a RADIUS server is connected to the LAN 4 port of the IWE3200-H. The IWE3200-Hworks together with the RADIUS server to decide whether a wireless client (the notebook computer or the PDA) is allowed to access the Internet through the broadband modems.

NOTE:

Although the RADIUS server in this sample configuration is on the “LAN” side, in a real application, it can be on the “WAN” side, that is, on the Internet.

The IWE3200-Hhas a built-in access point. If the RF coverage of the built-in access point is enough for your venue, no additional stand-alone access point is necessary.

Since IWE3200-Halso provides the WDS static wireless bridge function, it can also connect the other wireless AP with WDS method (See 3.5.1.3 Wireless Distribution System for more detail in-
