6 You should then be able to connect to the LAN via the Travel Router.
■ You can check the status of your PC's wireless interface to see that
your PC has obtained an IP address.
■ Note that this IP address must come from a DHCP server on the LAN;
the Travel Router itself is transparent and does not act as a DHCP
server in AP mode.
Using Client Mode To use Client Mode:
1 Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port on the Travel
Router to your PC.
2 Use the mode selector switch on the side on the Travel Router to select
Client mode (switch position 4).
3 Wait for the restart to be completed, and the Wireless LED to light.
4 The Travel Router will then connect, if possible, to the specified Wireless
LAN.
■ You cannot connect to the Travel Router while in Client Mode. You
must specify the desired Wireless LAN using Setup/Configuration
mode.
■ In Client Mode, the Travel Router is transparent; it does not have an IP
address.
5 You can check the Properties of your PC's Ethernet connection to see if it
has obtained a valid IP address:
■ If using Infrastructure mode (connecting to an Access Point), the IP
address must be a valid IP address on the LAN to which the Access
Point is connected.
■ If using Ad-hoc mode, the IP address should be self-assigned
(auto-configuration). If other PCs in the Ad-hoc Wireless LAN behave
the same way, everyone will have compatible IP addresses.
