Connecting the Access Point to the Internet
Connection to the Internet varies depending on your Internet
environment. If you are using the Access Point for your local network
only, and you do not need to connect it the Internet, proceed to page 18
and see “To use the Access Point for your local network only.”
Note
You must select Cable Modem or LAN connection mode before connecting
the Access Point to a LAN that has a DHCP server. See the Wireless LAN PC
Card Operating Instructions to configure the connection mode.
Under no circumstances should connection be made to a LAN that includes an
active DHCP server if Phone or Local Only has been selected as the connection
mode.
To connect the Access Point to the telephone line
(PCWA-A100 only)
The PCWA-A100 is equipped with a built-in modem for connection to
an analog telephone line. When the Access Point is connected to a
telephone line, multiple computers connected via Wireless LAN PC
cards can connect to the Internet through this modem.
Up to 49 computers can simultaneously be connected to the Internet via
a single telephone line (16 or fewer is recommended). However, note
that connecting additional computers reduces the communication
speed for each computer.
Note
You cannot connect the PCWA-A200 to an analog telephone line.
