Wireless mode 802.11b or 802.11g

SS-ID 1 D2X

Encryption (WEP) Off “Any” connection 2 Disabled

Channel Any

IP address 3 Obtain IP address automatically: Off

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.000

Default gateway 000.000.000.000

DNS 000.000.000.000

MAC address 4 Unspecified

1Same SS-ID must be assigned to WT-2.

2Not required if adapter does not support “any” connection.

3In this example, it is assumed that network uses class C private IP addresses and sub- net masks. Address assigned to adapter must differ from addresses of server and WT- 2. For example, if ftp server is 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.1 can be assigned to adapter and 192.168.1.2 to WT-2. All addresses must be in same class.
