The STWireless makes no difference between wired Ethernet and
WLAN clients. All connected PCs, whether these are connected via
the STWireless Ethernet port, or connected via joining the WLAN
SSID, share the same (sub)network. All are equally valid.
The STWireless allows local network management via:
An IP router (See section 11.4)
"
A DHCP server (See subsection 11.1.4)
"
NAPT abilities (See subsection 8.4.6)
"
A DNS server for local name resolving and DNS proxying
"
(See chapter 12)
A Firewall (See chapter 13)
"
All STWireless configurations for these management tools, are
equally valid for both wired Ethernet clients, and WLAN clients,
upon configuration.
All STWireless configurations for ADSL connectivity, are equally
valid for both wired Ethernet clients, as for WLAN clients, upon
configuration.
This User Manual contains numerous examples and exemplary
figures.
For clarity, all network connections, i.e. both wired Ethernet and
WLAN client connections, are visualized as if all were wired.
