Step by Step Setup
Step 1.
Interface Set-Up
In the
network interface | configuration
menu you can set the TCP/IP settings. Eth0 is pre-
configured as the WLAN port of your Access Controller, Ixp1 is the WAN port, and Ixp0 is the LAN
port. You can modify these settings according to your local network requirements. Make sure that IP
subnets do not overlap.

corresponding IP subnet of the LAN interface. In addition you can switch on the Universal Address
Translation function in the

UAT
users do not need to change their
local TCP/IP settings to log on to the Access Controller. The Access Controller will translate fixed IP
numbers used in private networks transparently for the user.
