3.2 The Network Configuration
The bridge can be configured before it is actually installed. The configuration
consists of two parts, the wireless settings and the network settings.
The network settings contain the following parameters:
•
IP address (DHCP or manual set)
•
Sub-net mask
•
Default router / gateway
•
Community string (password)
•
Lock (remote management on/off)
If an IP address has already been setup in the bridge, only the IP address needs
to be entered at the top field (a DNS name may also be entered). Click the
Connect button to continue. The system description will then show the MAC
address, etc.
If the bridge is being connected for the first time, two IP addressing processes
are possible. The first is when you have the bridge connected to a network
without a DHCP server, and the second is where there is a DHCP server
installed in the network.
If a DHCP server is used in the network where the bridge is installed, first check
the IP address it has been assigned (see the system administrator for this IP
address). Then enter that IP address at the network screen and press
Connect .
This will display the MAC address, sub-net mask, and default gateway.
If no DHCP server is running select ‘Set an fixed IP address’. Then enter the
MAC address and the IP address manually. Also, the sub-net mask and default
gateway has to be entered. Press
Connect . The network side of the bridge unit is
now configured. Repeat this procedure on all bridge units.
