4.3 Preparations

To prepare for configuration, you need to:
• Obtain the data required for the basic configuration.
• Check whether the PC from which you want to perform the configuration meets the ne-
cessary requirements.

4.3.1 Gathering data

The main data for the basic configuration can be gathered quickly, as no information is re-
quired that needs in-depth network knowledge. If applicable, you can use the example val-
ues.
Before you start the configuration, you should gather the data for the following purposes:
• IP configuration (obligatory if your device is in the ex works state)
• Optional: Configuration of a wireless network connection in Access Point mode
• Optional: Configuration of client links in Client Links mode
• Optional: Configuration of bridge links in Bridge mode.
The following table shows examples of possible values for the necessary data. You can
enter your personal data in the "Your values" column, so that you can refer to these values
later when needed.
If you configure a new network, you can use the given example values for IP addresses
and netmasks. In cases of doubt, ask your system administrator.
