At this point, you can reach (e.g. ping) remote’s
eth0
interface both from BS to
CPE and from CPE to BS. For example, from Base Station you can ping CPE’s
Ethernet interface (IP-address is 9.1.8.1). See Figure 27.

The next step is to make you Laptops/PC/LAN “see” each other.
If you connect two PC/Laptops (with MS Windows installed) two options are
available in this case:
1.
Write a route to the corresponding Ethernet network at the opposite side of
the link. In order to do this, go “Start->Run” and run “cmd” – Command
Line. At the BS computer you should write the following:
route add 9.1.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 9.2.8.1
This means that when an IP-packet goes from the computer connected to
your BS device to the computer at the CPE side, it will go to the BS Ethernet
interface. In the router, according to the routing tables formed using RIP
protocol, the packet will be sent via radio to the CPE router. After that, CPE
router will look up in its routing tables and send the packet through its
Ethernet interface to the remote computer.
At the CPE computer you should perform similar actions. Go “Start->Run”
and run “cmd” command. Type the following:
route add 9.2.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 9.1.8.1
Now we provided connectivity between two computers.
All routes in Windows that are specified using
route
command have
power until next reboot of the computer.
2.
The second option is to specify a
default gateway
for the PC/Laptop which
is going to be an
Ethernet
interface of the connected router. You can
specify default gateway parameter in the window shown on Figure 14.
Please refer. For the BS side it will be
9.2.8.1
, for CPE –
9.1.8.1
In order to make sure that your PC/Laptops are connected, you can ping one
side from the other one. For example, from BS connected computer we are
pinging remote computer at the CPE side (Figure 28)

Once attainability is obtained from both sides, you can try to carry out some
performance tests.
