it requests one from the DHCP server. Therefore, instead of configuring the IP address of an intranet
server manually, you can configure the server to obtain an IP address by DHCP and it is always as-
signed the same IP address.
To always assign a static IP address to a specific DHCP client:
1.
Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be assigned to it. Then, give
a description for this mapping.
2.
Select the corresponding
Enabled
check box.
3.5. Configuring IEEE 802.11b-Related Settings
3.5.1. Communication
3.5.1.1. Basic
IEEE 802.11b-related communication settings include
AP functionality
,
Regulatory domain
,
Channel number
, and
Network name (SSID)
, and
Transmit power
.
Fig. 39. IEEE 802.11b communication settings.
For specific needs such as configuring the WIASA as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge, the AP func-
tionality can be disabled, so that no wireless client can associate with the WIASA.
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client com-
puter and the SSID of the WIASA must be identical for them to communicate with each other.
The transmit power of the RF module of the WIASA can be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the
WIASA can be changed.
3.5.1.2. AP Load Balancing
Fig. 40. AP load balancing settings.
Several WIASAs and APs can form a load-balancing group if they are set the same
Group ID
. The
load-balancing policy can be by
Number of Users
or by
Traffic Load
.
