Helpful Information to Know...
How do you select the router?
As shown in Figure 3-13 on page 3-16, select the type of router (e.g., mesh) from the
Interface Type drop-down list. Then, click Apply. The SPEEDLAN 9200 Configurator
will then recognize the router you selected and allow you to make modifications as
needed. Note: If you need to change the router's topology mode (base station, CPE,
point-to-point or mesh) from or to another topology mode (base station, CPE, point-to-
point or mesh), see Changing the Router's Topology Mode, Change Topology Mode,
Appendix A-2. (Directions are also described in the previous figure, see Figure 3-13 on
page 3-16.)
References on Setting Up the Router
The next step is to set up your router. Follow this chapter to set up the IP address, set
routing information, set DHCP, set NAT information, troubleshoot network errors
(diagnostic information), and enter basic Administrative information. Make sure you
see the section called, Overview of the SPEEDLAN 9200 Configurator General Main
Menu, page 3-7. This section will tell you which functions are common to all routers
and which functions are specialized. This will help you locate the proper section in the
manual more quickly.
