Network Topology

The settings that you need to perform will vary depending on the role that your Wireless Gateway will play.

Network Backbone

No software setting is necessary in the R100 Wireless Gateway.

In this topology, the wireless gateway connects your wired and wireless devices together to form a local area network (LAN), as shown. To connect a computer (or other device) to the R100, you need a network cable (UTP-Cat5) with one end connected to one of the LAN ports on the back of the R100 and the other to the 10/100 LAN port on that device. For wireless connections, wireless mobile clients must comply with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
