Connecting two separate networks together

LAN A Configuration

In this example, network A is connected to the internet via a router at IP address 192.168.0.1.

Devices on LAN A that only require access to devices on LAN A and B, should have their gateway IP address set to the
WI-MOD-945-E Access Point as 192.168.0.200.

Devices on LAN A, that must interact with devices on LAN A and B and the internet should set the internet router
192.168.0.1 as their gateway, and must have a routing rule established for devices on Network B. On PCs, this may be
achieved with the MS-DOS command ROUTE. For this example use: ROUTE ADD 169.254.102.0 MASK 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.200

. For more information on the DOS “Route” command see section 4.10 - “Utilities”
