h. Select the Keep Alive checkbox to enable occasional communications over

the WAN port even when client communications to the WAN are idle. Some

ISPs terminate inactive connections, while others do not. In either case,

enabling Keep-Alive maintains the WAN connection, even when there is no

traffic. If the ISP drops the connection after the idle time, the access point

automatically reestablishes the connection to the ISP.

i. Specify a Username entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet

session begins, the ISP authenticates the username.

j. Specify a Password entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet

session starts, the ISP authenticates the password.

6. Click the LAN#1 tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the access

point LAN interface.

a. Select the Enable LAN Interface checkbox to forward data traffic over the

access point LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.

b. Use the This Interface drop-down menu to specify how network address

information is defined over the LAN connection. Select DHCP Client if the

larger corporate network uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes

mechanisms for IP address allocation and delivery of host-specific

configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some of these

parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select DHCP

Server to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection.

Select the Bootp client option to enable a diskless system to discover its

own IP address.

NOTE

Brocade recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not be configured as

DHCP clients at the same time.

c. Enter the network-assigned IP Address of the access point. DNS names

are not supported as a valid IP address for the access point. The user is

required to enter a numerical IP address.

d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of

numbers specify the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of

hosts within a larger network. These values help divide a network into

subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission.

e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a Default Gateway to define

the numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet

as its default gateway
