WIFI CONFIGURATION
29
MXL2
As you can see in the picture, the network device configuration parameters are the following:
n
Wireless network name: network_1
It states the network name belonging to the WLAN is "AiM-WLAN". Hence one user's PC needs
to be authenticated to this network in order to interact with any AiM device on this network.
n
Gateway address: 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS server: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS server: 0.0.0.0
These settings prevent internet connectivity through this WLAN.
n
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224
Enable DHCP server: yes
DHCP IP address range: 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.31
These settings enable a DHCP server running on this WLAN. It gives IP addresses belonging to
the range 3-31. Hence, 29 network hosts are permitted on this network.
The number of network devices on one WLAN depends on the subnet mask.
This guide suggests the use of the following network masks and IP address range:
Subnet mask: IP address range: Number of devices:
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 - 254 254
255.255.255.128 192.168.0.1 - 126 126
255.255.255.192 192.168.0.1 - 62 62
255.255.255.224 192.168.0.1 - 30 30
255.255.255.240 192.168.0.1 - 14 14
255.255.255.248 192.168.0.1 - 6 6
The bold one
is the configuration we suggest (if a greater number of devices is not needed),
as it makes it easier and quicker for RaceStudio3 to identify devices on the network.
