    Find Your New P-360! To find your new P-360 HiaB Access Point you will need to connect the AP to the same logical network as your PC. The standard IP address of the P-360 in factory default status is 192.168.2.2. To...
  • Page 14: Test: Calling P-360 With Ping

    192.168.2.2 If ping replays, you can access the P-360 from this PC. Otherwise there is a problem accessing the P- 360 in default status from this PC. You should either change the IP address of your PC or of the P- 360.
  • Page 15: Chapter 3 - Configuration

    The configuration manager provides the user interface to configure and manage HiaB Access Point (P-360). When the Access Point is installed, access the user interface using the standard Web browser such as Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape Navigator 6 (Java and JavaScript enabled).

  • Page 17: Device Status

    Device Status The device status page shows some information about the HiaB P-360 itself, its loaded services, its operating mode and position in your network and the data traffic on the wireless interface. System Status Figure 7 – Device Status (1) Version is the current version of the firmware.
  • Page 18: Network Status

    Figure 9 – Device Status (3) Device Mode shows the P-360 operating mode (AP or AP Router). Hostname shows the name of the P-360 in the network used for statistic routines. Ethernet Interface IP shows IP address of the Ethernet interface of the P-360.

    All of the parameters above on the general configuration setting page are required! Network Configuration Settings On the network configuration settings page you can modify the IP settings for the P-360 and the default gateway. Figure 13 – Network Configuration Settings...
  • Page 22 In this case all LAN IP addresses are hidden to the WAN network behind the routers WAN IP address. The P-360 in AP router mode on the other side of the wireless network will forward the data packets using his own WAN IP address to the wired (Ethernet) network it is connected to.
  • Page 23: Wireless Configuration Settings

    In Access Point mode SSID must be made known to all mobile clients, or they have to use the “auto connect to any wireless network” function in their WLAN card. If you are running more than one P-360 and want to enable the roaming function, please use the same SSID in all access points.

    If there is more than one route specified for one destination, the metric value shows the priority, how the router will try the routes. The metric value indexes the number of gateways between sender and destination. Gemtek Systems Page 30...
  • Page 30: Dhcp Settings

    The DHCP server settings specify, which IP addresses are assigned to the DHCP clients in the LAN. For a P-380 in AP router mode, these are the mobile wireless stations or P-380 devices in client router mode with DHCP client function enabled. Gemtek Systems Page 31...
  • Page 31: Port Forwarding Settings

    In the Port Forwarding Settings main page you can add, modify or delete forwarding rules.

    Figure 256 – Add Port Forwarding Rule In this example, all requests to the P-360 on port 25 will be redirected to the IP address 192.168.2.28 on port 1445. Port forwarding is a kind of reverse function to IP masquerading. Hence this function can take effect only when NAT is enabled! Please refer to your firewall settings to check if the port forwarding settings are suitable.
