TRENDnet TEW-310APBX manual Getting Started, Ip Address

4. Getting Started

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the TEW-310APB will automatically connect with other TRENDnet products.

For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local network, without sacrificing speed or security, using TRENDware networking products.

IP ADDRESS

Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, please configure the TEW-310APB to disable its DHCP Server and enable its DHCP Client

If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network,

please remember that the IP Address for each computer must be in

the same IP Address range as all the computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The Infrastructure Network example shown on the below contains the following TRENDnet network devices:

Wireless Access Point (TEW-310APB)(DHCP enabled at default)

Ethernet Broadband Router (TW100-S4W1CA)(DHCP enabled at default)

Notebook computer with a wireless adapter (TEW-301PC)

Desktop computer with a wireless adapter (TEW-303PI) Cable modem or DSL Modem

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically”. With a DHCP- capable gateway/router, there is no need to manually assign an IP address to each computer in the network.
