The wireless communication function of the Base Station LF-V30 works in one of the two wireless modes; Access Point mode or Client mode. You can change the mode with the WLAN switch on the rear panel of the LF-V30 (1page 8).

Access Point mode

When you want to use the LF-V30 as a wireless access point and connect your LocationFree® client devices to the LF-V30 directly, or when you want to connect your LF-V30 to your router with a LAN cable, set the wireless mode to the Access Point mode.

Client mode

If you want to position your LF-V30 at a distance from your router and cannot connect a LAN cable between them, set the wireless mode to the Client mode. You can position your LF-V30 anywhere within the signal range of your wireless router. In this case, you cannot use your LF-V30 as a wireless access point.

For the following device or software users;

-Desktop PC (with no wireless function)

-Windows® XP

You need to connect your LF-V30 to your wireless router with a LAN cable temporarily before you set the wireless settings of your LF- V30 by using a computer installed with the LocationFree® Player.

You can use the Base Station as a wireless access point to connect your wireless device to the Internet via the Base Station.

zTip

To use the Base Station as a wireless access point for computers, the computers must be equipped with integrated wireless LAN functions or wireless LAN cards that conform to the IEEE802.11a/b/g standards.

Notes

•Not all wireless LAN devices are guaranteed to connect to the Base Station.

•You can connect a maximum of 16 wireless LAN devices by using the Base Station as a wireless access point.
