RangeLAN2 7500 Access Point Addendum
Congratulations on your purchase of the RangeLAN2 7500. There are some additional features of
this Access Point model that are not described in the User's Guide.
Using Across a Router
You can use a RangeLAN2 7500 for wireless communication through network routers. In order to
use the CFG tool, send pings, or perform any network function through a RangeLAN2 7500 across a
router, configure the SNMP parameters for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
IP Address indicates the IP address that will be assigned to the RangeLAN2 7500. It must be a
unique number on the network.
Subnet Mask indicates the mask that will be used to determine what network the RangeLAN2 7500
is on.
If a packet is destined for an IP host or node that needs to cross a router, the RangeLAN2 7500 will
look for the Default Gateway to indicate where a router is that can send the packet to its proper
destination.
