Solution(s)
The Bridge supports up to 16 specific clients (for
example, computers and printers) and keeps track of
them using a client list of MAC addresses. After the
client limit is reached, you must clear the client list to
allow a new client to associate. For example, in a hub
configuration with 16 clients connected, if you
disconnect a desktop computer and connect a laptop
in its place, you must clear the client list to establish
network association.
1 Disconnect a client by unplugging its Ethernet cable
from the hub.
2 Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device
Manager to select the Bridge and launch its
Configuration Management System.
3 Under System Configuration, click Ethernet Client
List. The Ethernet Client List page appears. Click
Clear Client List.
4 Connect the new client by plugging its Ethernet
cable into the hub.
