A DHCP sever assigns IP addresses dynamically from an IP address pool, which is managed by the
network administrator. This means that the DHCP client, i.e. the Pro Series, receives a different IP
address each time it boots up. The IP address should be reserved on the DHCP server side to assure
that the user always knows the newly assigned Pro Series address. In order to reserve the IP address
in the DHCP network, the administrator needs the MAC address of the Pro Series found on the label
sticker at the bottom of the Pro Series.
3.2. WiFi Configuration
The PSx10W has a WiFi interface that supports both 802.11b and 802.11g.
3.2.1. Network type
An AP is most often used to connect the PSx10W to the Ethernet. However, it can also be used to
connect to the Internet. This type of connection is referred as an “infra mode.” On wireless computer
networks, ”Adhoc mode”, also called “peer-to-peer mode”, is a method for PSx10W devices to directly
communicate with each other without an AP. Adhoc mode can be very useful in replacing cables between
existing devices with a wireless connection.
