5 Implementation And Configuration INSYS WLAN bridge
5.1 WLAN Network Structure
For a network structure according to IEEE 802.11b, the included devices must be
coordinated regarding the following settings:
Description
Website (see Chap. 6.3)
Radio channel (only for adhoc network)
Clear text name of the radio network (SSID)
Architecture: Infrastructure or adhoc
WEP Encryption
Wireless settings (Chap. 5.4.4)
Gateway for the local network segment
Network mask for the local network segment
Own IP address
IP Settings (Chap.5.4.5)
5.2 Addressing Within the IP Network
Devices in IP networks – office or Internet networks – use 3 details to identify the own
device, the own network segment, and the gateway for connections to other
subnetworks.
All IP addresses consist of a sequence of 4 numbers in a range of values from
0
to
255
,
e.g.
192.168.100.45.
For private networks without direct Internet connection,
numbering areas such as
192.168.*.*
are reserved. The IP address describes the
network segment as well as the number of the individual device within this segment.
IP address:
Own address of the INSYS WLAN bridge
e.g.
192.168.100.203
Subnetwork mask:
Part of the address which describes the network segment:
The subnetwork
255.255.255.0
, for example, marks the first three
numbers
192.168.100
of the address
192.168.100.203
as
network segment.
Standard gateway:
All data packets to recipients outside the own network segment are
transmitted to the gateway to be forwarded.
5.3 Reset
