Wireless Gateway User Guide
•Wireless Access Point To use the Wireless Access Point:
•All Wireless devices must have the same SSID. Either the Wireless Access Point or the Wireless clients can be changed to ensure this.
•All Wireless devices must have the same settings for WEP (Wired Equivalent Pri- vacy).
By default, WEP on the Wireless Gateway is Disabled, so clients also need to have WEP Disabled.
•See Appendix B for more details about Wireless LANs and WEP, and the Wireless Screen section later in this chapter for details of the Wireless Gateway's Wireless screen.

Router
Device (Host) | Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your ISP |
Name | requests that you use a particular “Hostname”, enter it here. This name |
| will be provided to, and recorded by, the remote DHCP Server. |
|
|
Hardware | Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a low- |
(MAC) | level identifier for the Wireless Gateway, as seen from the WAN port. |
Address | Provide this value to your ISP if requested. If you did not provide this |
| |
| value when first connected, there is no need to provide it now. |
|
|
LAN |
|
Device | IP address for the Wireless Gateway, as seen from the local LAN. Use |
IP Address | the default value of 192.168.0.1 unless the address is already in use or |
| your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an |
| unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN. |
|
|
Network Mask | The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") net- |
| works. For other networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment |
| to which the Wireless Gateway is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs |
| on that LAN segment. |
|
|
DHCP Server | See Chapter 5 for further details about DHCP. |
| • If Enabled, the Wireless Gateway will allocate IP Addresses to PCs |
| on your LAN. The default and recommended value is Enabled. |
| • If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be |
| DISABLED, and the existing DHCP server must be |
| described in Chapter 5 - DHCP. |
| • The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values |
| used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP |
| clients. |
| This range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported. |
| (Maximum 253.) |
