WAB–2000 Wireless Access Point
Network Configuration
The WAB–2000 is an access point with bridging setup capability:
• Access point/Gateway plus:
• Wireless bridging with choice of:
- Point-to-point setup
- Point-to-multipoint setup
- Repeater setup
Bridging actually has more choices, but the above choices are popular
and are discussed later in this user guide (Chapter 4).
Access Point Configurations
When a WAB–2000 is used as an access point, IP addresses for wire-
less devices are typically assigned by the wired network's DHCP server.
The wired LAN's DHCP server assigns addresses dynamically, and the
AP virtually connects wireless users to the host wired network. All wire-
less devices connected to the AP are configured on the same subnetwork
as the wired network interface and can be accessed by devices on the
wired network.
Possible AP Topologies
1. An access point can be used as a stand-alone AP without any
connection to a wired network. In this configuration, it simply
provides a stand-alone wireless network for a group of wireless
devices.
