Page 3: Example Network Topology
LCTN3012: Connecting the LAN-Cell 3 to a MiFi or Wi-Fi Access Point Introduction The Proxicast LAN-Cell 3 has the ability to function as a Wi-Fi “client” and connect to any existing Wi-Fi access point and use that connection as one of its wide-area network (WAN) interfaces. - Page 4 LAN-Cell Configuration Many Wi-Fi access points default to use the 192.168.1.x subnet that is also the default for the LAN-Cell 3. You may need to change the LAN-Cell’s IP address to a different subnet in order to use an existing Wi-Fi AP’s subnet.
- Page 5 LCTN3012: Connecting the LAN-Cell 3 to a MiFi or Wi-Fi Access Point Next, configure the LAN-Cell’s WAN for Wi-Fi Client Mode. Select Setup > WAN from the menu and scroll to the bottom section labeled WAN (Ethernet) (Figure 4). Figure 4: Wi-Fi WAN Client Mode Select Wi-Fi Client Mode from the Connection Type drop-down list.
- Page 6 LAN-Cell will begin to search for the target access point. Once discovered, it will associate to the AP and make a connection. You can observe the progress on the right-side status column (Figure 8) and in the LAN-Cell 3 log.
- Page 7 LCTN3012: Connecting the LAN-Cell 3 to a MiFi or Wi-Fi Access Point Figure 8: Successful Wi-Fi WAN Connection At this point, the Wi-Fi WAN connection will function just like a wired Ethernet WAN connection. You may configure load balancing, fail-over and connectivity monitoring on the Setup > WAN Advanced screen.
