WS 2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide2-6
Step 5: Configure Subnet1
The WS 2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to define and refine the configuration of the enabled
subnets. Each of four subnets (short for “subnetworks”) can be configured as an identifiably separate part of the switch-
managed local area network (LAN). Each subnet can include some combination of assigned ports and associated wireless
LANs (WLANs).
1. Select Network Configuration --> LAN --> Subnet1 from the list on the left. The following screen appears for the
selected subnet.
2. Check to make sure that all the ports and WLAN1 are selected for this subnet. WLAN1 should automatically be included
if the switch and the Access Port are communicating properly. If WLAN1 is not present in the list, check the following:
• The power to the Access Port
• The connections between the switch and the Access Port
• The LEDs to make sure that lights are on and flashing
3. For this initial configuration, ensure that This interface is a DHCP Server is enabled. If so, the switch sets the IP
addresses automatically for the mobile devices. This value can be changed at any time in the future. All other default
settings are fine for the system test.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration
parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. The
switch includes internal DHCP server and client features, and the subnet’s interface can use either capability.
4. Click the Apply button to save changes.
Step 6: Configure the WAN Interface
A wide area network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate environment, the WAN port
might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to
access the Internet.
