3e–527A3 Wireless Access Point – 8 Port
Access Point Configurations
When a 3e–527A3 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 wired network. All wireless
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.
��
2. The 3e–527A3 can be used as one of a number of APs connected
to an existing Ethernet network to bridge between the wired and
wireless environments. Each AP can operate independently of
the other APs on the LAN. Multiple APs can coexist as separate
individual networks at the same site with a different network ID
(SSID).
