DNS server and DNS domain – these settings are used to configure DNSs. (These settings can also be configured as DHCP. This causes the DHCP client in the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 to attempt to automatically obtain the correct configuration from the DHCP server. The DHCP setting is only valid when the IP address is also acquired using DHCP).

WINS servers – these settings are used for Windows Internet Name Services (WINS). (These settings can also be configured as DHCP. This causes the DHCP client in the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 to attempt to automatically obtain the correct setting from the DHCP server. The DHCP setting is only valid when the IP address is also acquired using DHCP. When WINS is configured properly, the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 can translate hostnames to IP addresses. When using Telnet, it is also possible to access the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 using its hostname instead of the IP address.

Logging – Logging can be set to Syslog or NONE.

Log server – enter the IP address or hostname of the Syslog server on the network if Syslog has been configured. The WLAN Application Gateway 2246 writes Syslog format diagnostic messages to the Syslog server.

SNTP server – can be configured as a hostname, IP address, or NONE. The SNTP server is a Simple Network Time server. The WLAN Application Gateway 2246 obtains the current date and time from the SNTP server and tags syslog messages with the date.

IGMP Enabled – configure as Yes or No. IGMP is Internet Group Routing Protocol. IGMP Enabled allows the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 to join multicast groups. Enable this option if the network switch connected to the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 requires IGMP for multicast traffic to be forwarded.

Maintenance Lock – the system sets this option to Yes after maintenance activities have been performed that require a reset. This option cannot be changed. It is automatically set. Reset the system at exit to clear Maintenance Lock. Maintenance Lock prevents any new calls from starting.

Continuing configuration through Telnet

Once the IP address for the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 has been configured and reset, and the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 has been connected to the LAN and the Application Server, Telnet can be used to continue the configuration of the WLAN Application Gateway 2246.

Connecting through Telnet

Connection to the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 can be done through the network using Telnet. Telnet can only be used after the IP address of the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 has been configured.
