larger network or the Internet will be possible. MUs cannot communicate beyond the
configured subnets.
b. Select the
point's WAN connection. This is useful, if the larger corporate network or Internet
Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP
address allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP
server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway.

the access point connects to a larger network. A subnet mask uses a series of four
numbers expressed in dot notation. For example, 255.255.255.0 is a valid subnet mask.

g. Optionally, use the
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) for a high-speed connection that supports this protocol.
Most DSL providers are currently using or deploying this protocol. PPPoE is a data-link
protocol for dialup connections. PPPoE will allow the access point to use a broadband
modem (DSL, cable modem, etc.) for access to high-speed data networks.
h. Select the
port even when client communications to the WAN are idle. Some ISPs terminate
inactive connections, while others do not. In either case, enabling Keep-Alive maintains
the WAN connection, even when there is no traffic. If the ISP drops the connection after
the idle time, the access point automatically reestablishes the connection to the ISP.
