If auto IP mode is selected and the device has a CEA-852 configuration server, a ping
message is sent to all CEA-852 devices in the channel list of the configuration server. If the
configuration server is disabled on this device a ping message is sent to the configuration
server for the IP-852 channel, if one is known. If custom IP is selected, one specific IP
address can be configured as the ping destination.
6.2.7 WLAN Configuration
Devices supporting the LWLAN-800 wireless adapter can be connected to IEEE 802.11
wireless networks. The basic functions available in WLAN operation are described in
Section 11.5. Depending on the required wireless modes, the first configuration step is to
select the port mode on the
Wireless
tab of the port configuration, as shown in Figure 58.
Figure 58: Wireless Port Mode
The following port modes can be selected:
Disable
: The wireless interface is disabled.
Separate network
: The wireless interface is enabled, but not bridged to any
Ethernet interface. It provides its own, isolated services.
Bridge to Ethernet 1
: The wireless interface is enabled and bridged to the
Ethernet 1 interface.
Bridge to Ethernet 2
: The wireless interface is enabled and bridged to the
Ethernet 2 interface.
After having selected the port mode, the IP settings have to be set, if the wireless port is
configured as a separate network. The wireless interfaces are configured in the same way as
Ethernet interfaces described in Section 6.2.5. Depending on the wireless mode, there are
some differences:
Access point mode (separate network)
: The IP address and netmask are used to
define the network in which client get an IP address from the built-in DHCP
server. DNS and NTP settings are not needed in this mode.
The wireless client settings are made in the
Wireless
protocol area. This allows setting the
WIRELESS mode
in a drop-down box. The following basic modes are available, which are
described below in more detail:
Client Mode: The WLAN client connects to an existing access point.
Access Point Mode: The device provides a WLAN access point where a client can
connect to the wireless network created by the device.
Mesh Mode: This mode is used to create an IEEE 802.11s mesh network.
Client Mode.
A wireless interface in client mode has the settings shown in Figure 59.
