Connect an Ethernet cable to one LAN Port with the user authentication function enabled on the front panel.
The default ports are LAN1 and LAN2 ports. (Note: Authentication is required for the users to access the
network via these LAN Ports. The LAN port with authentication function is referred to as
Public LAN
.) Connect
the other end of the Ethernet cable to an AP or switch. The LED of this LAN should be on to indicate a proper
connection.
4.
Connect an Ethernet cable to one LAN Port with the user authentication function disabled on the front panel.
The default ports are LAN3 and LAN4 ports. (Note: No authentication is required for the users to access the
network via these LAN Ports. The LAN port without authentication function is referred to as
Private LAN
and
the administrator can enter the administrative user interface to perform configurations via Private LAN.)
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a client’s PC. The LED of this LAN should be on to indicate a
proper connection.
5.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
ADSL modem, cable modem or a switch/hub of the internal network. The LED of this WAN should be on to
indicate a proper connection.
Attention:
Usually a straight RJ-45 could be applied if IAS-2000 is connected to a hub/computer which supports
automatic crossover, such as the Access Point. However, after the Access Point hardware reset, IAS-2000 should
not be able to connect to Access Point while connecting with a straight cable unless the cable was pulled out and
plug-in again. This scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.
After the hardware of IAS-2000 is installed completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following sections.
The manual will guide you step by step to set up the system using a single IAS-2000 to manage the network.
