Client is checked, the switch is limited to one WAN IP address. This choice is required
when:
• The host router or switch on the WAN is communicating with the WS 2000 Wireless
Switch using DHCP.
• The switch is interfacing with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that uses DHCP
addressing.
This setting is independent from the DHCP settings for the switch's internal
subnets.
3. If This interface is DHCP Client is not checked, fill in the information in this area. To find
out the information to enter into these fields, contact the network administrator or the ISP
that provided the cable modem or DSL router. All the fields below take standard IP addresses
of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
• The IP Address refers to the IP address that the outside world uses to address the WS
2000 Wireless Switch.
• Click the More IP Addresses button to specify additional static IP addresses for the
switch. Additional IP addresses are required when users within the LAN need dedicated
IP addresses, or when servers in the LAN need to be accessed (addressed) by the outside
world. The pop-up window allows the administrator to enter up to eight WAN IP
addresses for the switch.
• The Subnet Mask is the mask used for the WAN.
• The Default Gateway is the address of the device that provides the connection to the
WAN (often a cable modem or DSL router).
• The two DNS Server fields specify DNS addresses of servers that can translate domain
names, such as www.symbol.com, into IP addresses that the network uses when
passing information. The Secondary DNS Server acts as a backup to the Primary
DNS Server when the primary server is not responding.
Setting Up Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) Communication
PPPoE provides the ability to connect a network of hosts through a simple device to a remote access
concentrator. Many DSL providers require that their clients communicate using this protocol. The
facility allows the ISP to control access, billing, and type of service provided to clients on a per-user
or per-site basis. Check with the network administrator or ISP to determine whether to enable this
feature, and, if so, find out the username and password required for authentication.
