e. Define a
Default Gateway
address for the access point’s WAN connection. The ISP or
a network administrator provides this address.
f. Specify the address of a
Primary DNS Server
. The ISP or a network administrator
provides this address.
6.
Optionally, use the
Enable PPP over Ethernet
checkbox to enable
Point-to-Point over
Ethernet (PPPoE)
for a high-speed connection that supports this protocol. Most DSL
providers are currently using or deploying this protocol. PPPoE is a data-link protocol for
dialup connections. PPPoE will allow the access point to use a broadband modem (DSL,
cable modem, etc.) for access to high-speed data networks.
a. Select the
Keep Alive
checkbox to enable occasional communications over the WAN
port even when client communications to the WAN are idle. Some ISPs terminate
inactive connections, while others do not. In either case, enabling Keep-Alive maintains
the WAN connection, even when there is no traffic. If the ISP drops the connection after
the idle time, the access point automatically reestablishes the connection to the ISP.
b. Specify the
Username
entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session
begins, the ISP authenticates the username.
c. Specify the
Password
entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session
starts, the ISP authenticates the password.
For additional access point WAN port configuration options, see
Configuring WAN Settings
on page 5-16
.
7.
Click the
LAN
tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the access point LAN interface.
a. Select the
Enable LAN Interface
checkbox to forward data traffic over the access
point’s LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.
b. Use the
This Interface
drop-down menu to specify how network address information
is defined over the access point’s LAN connection. Select
DHCP Client
if the larger
corporate network uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP
address allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP
server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway.
Select
DHCP Server
to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection.
Select the
Bootp client
option to enable a diskless system to discover its own IP
address.
.
NOTE
Motorola recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not both be
configured as DHCP clients.
