Contacting The Wireless Switch - Motorola WS2000 System Reference Manual

12-4 WS2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide
This plan covers all the wireless devices—the POS terminals, the printers, and the customer laptops—
except the wireless handheld terminals. Clarissa decides to put them on the WLAN with the POS terminals.
There are also some conventional, 100baseT wired devices to consider. There is the store server and two
wired POS terminals. Clarissa will put all of these on the 100baseT ports on the WS2000.
To keep things simple, Clarissa decides to define one subnet for each WLAN and assign one Access Port to
each WLAN. The wired devices will be part of the POS subnet.
The WS2000 will connect to the Internet through a DSL line.

12.3 Contacting the Wireless Switch

Clarissa sets up a direct network link between her laptop and the switch, plugging the cable into one of the
local, non-WAN, ports. The switch defaults to having all the LAN ports on the first subnet and that subnet
having an IP address of 192.168.0.1. So, as far as this connection is concerned, the switch comes up with an
initial IP address of 192.168.0.1. She sets her laptop to have an IP address of 192.168.0.2 and a netmask of
255.255.255.0. She also sets the gateway IP address to be 192.168.0.1, the WS2000ws2000's IP address.
