2.5.2 Set up a wireless client as a fixed IP client
The following will give detailed steps of how to configure a PC or a wireless client to “obtain
IP addresses automatically”.
In the case of using a wireless client, the client must also have an 802.11a/b/g wireless
interface installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the WLA-9000AP, and
have TCP/IP installed and configured as fixed IP and same subnet mask scope as the AP.
Then perform the following steps for either of the cases above. To configure types of
workstations other than Windows 95/98/NT/2000, please consult the manufacturer’s
documentation.
Step 1. From the Win95/98/2000 Start Button, select Settings, then Control Panel. The
Win95/98/2000 Control Panel displays.
Step 2. Double-click on the Network icon.
Step 3. Check your list of Network Components in the Network window Configuration tab.
If TCP/IP has already been installed, go to Step 8. Otherwise, select Add to install
it now.
Step 4. In the new Network Component Type window, select Protocol. In the new Select
Network Protocol window, select Microsoft in the Manufacturers area.
Step 5. In the Network Protocols area of the same window, select TCP/IP, then click OK.
You may need your Win95/98 CD to complete the installation. After TCP/IP
installation is complete, go back to the Network window described in Step 4.
Step 6. Select TCP/IP in the list of Network Components.
Step 7. Click Properties, and check the settings in each of the TCP/IP Properties window.
Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.1.4 and Subnet
mask as 255.255.255.0.
Step 8. With the WLA-9000AP powered on, reboot the PC/wireless client. After the
PC/wireless client is re-booted, you should be ready to configure the WLA-9000AP.
See Chapter 3.
The procedure required to set a static IP address is not too much different from the
procedure required to set to “obtain IP addresses dynamically” - except that at the end of
step 7, instead of selecting “obtain IP addresses dynamically, you should specify the IP
address explicitly.
