LAN mode

Cannot connect to the Internet

First, connect the ISDN Router and the PCWA-A100 Access Point, then connect the pow er supply.

I cannot com m unicate w ith the Access Point after changing to the LAN m ode.

Possibly, acquisition of the IP address failed.

When you set to the LAN mode, the Access Point acts as a bridge betw een the Ethernet and Wireless sides. With this mode, the Access Point stops the

functions of the DHCP server. In other w ords, each client tries to get the IP address from the DHCP server (normally the ISDN Router) other than the

Access Point.

Therefore, if there is nothing connected to the Access Point's 10BASE-T connector (Ethernet connector), and w hen connected to a LAN that does not

have an operational DHCP server, the Wireless client computer w ill not be able to obtain the IP address from the DHCP server.

First, connect the Access Point's 10BASE-T connector to a netw ork on w hich the DHCP server is operating, then connect to the pow er supply.

Confirm that the Access Point has completely started, then perform either of the follow ing to re-acquire the client's IP address.
