User's Manual

The check box in the page determines whether the other controls are activated.
If “Automatic configuration (DHCP)” is on, the other settings cannot be modified.
In this case the AP configures TCP/IP automatically.
If “Automatic configuration (DHCP)” is off, the user can enter values in the other fields of
the page and configure TCP/IP manually. The fields “Static address”,“Network mask”,
“Gateway address”, and “DNS server” have the same meaning as in the Windows system’s
control panel for configuring a TCP/IP connection.
User Information
For WLAN networks that require user authentication you must define the user data within
the WLAN profile. The same information is used by all the supported authentication
methods. Additional WLAN profiles should be created if you want alternative user data.
> The user enters his data in the dialogue shown below. User data is only used
when authentication takes place. However, these settings can be entered even
if the currently selected authentication method does not use them.

Once the scan for networks is complete, all networks found are added to the pop-
up menu of available networks. For each network the following information is
shown: > Name of network
> Signal strength
> Selecting a network from the pop-up menu assigns the network’s name as well as
the network mode and the communication channel for point-to-point networks.
TCP/IP Settings
If a connection to an AP is established (including any authentication), the device uses the
TCP/IP protocol for accessing other machines over the WLAN connection. This group of
settings is shown in a separate tab on the configuration.
