Using Client Mode

6 You should then be able to connect to the LAN via the Travel Router.
You can check the status of your PC's wireless interface to see that
■
your PC has obtained an IP address.
Note that this IP address must come from a DHCP server on the LAN;
■
the Travel Router itself is transparent and does not act as a DHCP
server in AP mode.
To use Client Mode:
1 Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port on the Travel
Router to your PC.
2 Use the mode selector switch on the side on the Travel Router to select
Client mode (switch position 4).
3 Wait for the restart to be completed, and the Wireless LED to light.
4 The Travel Router will then connect, if possible, to the specified Wireless
LAN.
You cannot connect to the Travel Router while in Client Mode. You
■
must specify the desired Wireless LAN using Setup/Configuration
mode.
In Client Mode, the Travel Router is transparent; it does not have an IP
■
address.
5 You can check the Properties of your PC's Ethernet connection to see if it
has obtained a valid IP address:
If using Infrastructure mode (connecting to an Access Point), the IP
■
address must be a valid IP address on the LAN to which the Access
Point is connected.
If using Ad-hoc mode, the IP address should be self-assigned
■
(auto-configuration). If other PCs in the Ad-hoc Wireless LAN behave
the same way, everyone will have compatible IP addresses.
