2.5. Deploying the IWE3200-H

After the settings have been configured, deploy the Router to the field application environment. You
have to connect AP(s), modem(s), and RADIUS server(s) to the IWE3200-H. The system configura-
tion in Fig. illustrates how to deploy the IWE3200-H.
In this configuration, one DSL/cable modem is connected to the WAN port (as WAN 1) of the
IWE3200-H and another modem is connected to the LAN 1 port (as WAN 2) of the IWE3200-H.
Two APs are connected to the LAN 2 port and LAN 3 port, respectively. Finally, a RADIUS server is
connected to the LAN 4 port of the IWE3200-H. The IWE3200-H works together with the RADIUS
server to decide whether a wireless client (the notebook computer or the PDA) is allowed to access
the Internet through the broadband modems.
Although the RADIUS server in this sample configuration is on the "LAN" side, in a real

application, it can be on the "WAN" side, that is, on the Internet.
The IWE3200-H has a built-in access point. If the RF coverage of the built-in access point is enough
for your venue, no additional stand-alone access point is necessary.
Since IWE3200-H also provides the WDS static wireless bridge function, it can also connect the
other wireless AP with WDS method (See 3.5.1.3 Wireless Distribution System for more detail in-
