PCAN-Wireless Gateway DR – User Manual 
 

38 

Encryption Type:

 Choose the encryption type that is used by your 

WLAN from this list. 
 

Network Key:

 Enter the password that is required to gain access to 

the WLAN. 
 

In order to save all changes, click  Save Settings  at the end of this 
page. 
 

WLAN Address Settings 

The WLAN interface can be configured by using this form. Settings 
can be saved by clicking the  Save Settings  button located below 
the form. 
 

DHCP:

 If the IP uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), 

the PCAN-Gateway IP address, Subnet mask, and gateway address 
are assigned automatically. Otherwise, you must manually enter the 
information. Switch DHCP on if required (Enable). 

Note:

 DHCP is not recommended, because it is necessary to 

know the IP address of the device to access the configuration 
website. Furthermore the IP address may change after a restart 
of the device or the DHCP server. In this case the existing 
routes won't work. 

 
IP Address:

 Enter here the IP address (IPv4) of the WLAN interface. It 

should be noted that only values from 0 to 255 may be used and 
certain address ranges are reserved. 

 

In the first field, enter a value less than 224, since addresses 
starting from this value are reserved for Multicast messages
