Introduction
For detailed information on configuring the access point for Hotspot support, see
Configuring WLAN Hotspot Support on page
5-45.
1.1.5 Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
With the release of the 1.1 version access point, Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functionality has
been added to the existing Router screen. RIP is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how
routers exchange routing-table information. The parent Router screen also allows the administrator
to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used.
For detailed information on configuring RIP functionality as part of the access point's Router
functionality, see
Setting the RIP Configuration on page
5-66.
1.1.6 Manual Date and Time Settings
As an alternative to defining a NTP server to provide access point system time, the access point can
now have its date and time set manually. A new Manual Date/Time Setting screen can be used to set
the
access point
time using a Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format.
For detailed information on manually setting the access point's system time, see
Configuring Network
Time Protocol (NTP) on page
4-36.
1.1.7 Dynamic DNS
The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature offered
by www.dyndns.com which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned IP
addresses. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the new IP address is sent
to the DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the new IP address. For
information on configuring the Dynamic DNS feature, see
Configuring Dynamic DNS on page
5-25.
1.1.8 Auto Negotiation
Auto negotiation enables the access point to automatically exchange information (over either its LAN
or WAN port) about data transmission speed and duplex capabilities. Auto negotiation is helpful
when using the access point in an environment where different devices are connected and
disconnected on a regular basis. For information on configuring the auto negotiation feature, see
Configuring the LAN Interface on page 5-1
or
Configuring WAN Settings on page
5-16.
