Changing the status of your connection (Cautions when changing the mode) Before connecting to another netw ork that has a configuration different from one established for the Access Point, consult w ith your netw ork administrator and give careful consideration to functions such as the Access Point DHCP server function. We recommend using either the LAN mode or the Cable Modem mode. This section explains how to make settings for the follow ing cases.  When the current setting is either Phone mode or Local Only mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.  When the current setting is either Phone mode or Local Only mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running.  When the current setting is LAN mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.  When the current setting is LAN mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running.  When the current setting is Cable Modem mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.  When the current setting is Cable Modem mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running. Whe n the curre nt s e tting is e ithe r Phone m ode or Local Only m ode and the ne tw ork to w hich you w ant to s hift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running. (For exam ple: From your hom e to your office.) Note Pay close attention to these changes. We strongly recommend that you consult w ith the netw ork administrator of the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift w hen making the changes. Detailed Reasons 1. Change the Access Point connection m ode to the Cable Modem m ode. 2. Re m ove the Acce s s Point from the ne tw ork you are curre ntly using and attach it to the ne tw ork to w hich you w ant to connect, then connect the pow er and start it up. 3. Confirm that the com puter that is installed w ith the PCWA-C100 Wireless LAN PC Card can be connected to the Access Point. 4. It is pos s ible , in this s tate , for file and printe r s haring w ithin the Wire le s s ne tw ork and to acce s s the Ethe rne t from the Wireless side. Change the m ode of the Access Point to LAN m ode to share files and printers betw een the Wireless and the Ethe rne t s ide s . The de tails of this are e xplaine d he re . Whe n the curre nt s e tting is e ithe r Phone m ode or Local Only m ode and the ne tw ork to w hich you w ant to s hift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running.

In this case, the Access Point functions as a NAT router betw een the Wireless side and the Ethernet side. Therefore, it is possible to share files and printers w ithin the Wireless netw ork. How ever, the sharing of files and printers betw een the Ethernet side and the Wireless side and accessing the Wireless side from the Ethernet side are not possible.

This can be used as it is if the Access Point settings are the default settings for the LAN mode. Page 35

Changing the status of your connection (Cautions when changing the mode)
Before connecting to another netw ork that has a configuration different from one established for the Access Point, consult w ith your netw ork administrator and
give careful consideration to functions such as the Access Point DHCP server function.
We recommend using either the LAN mode or the Cable Modem mode.
This section explains how to make settings for the follow ing cases.
When the current setting is either Phone mode or Local Only mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.
When the current setting is either Phone mode or Local Only mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not
running.
When the current setting is LAN mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.
When the current setting is LAN mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running.
When the current setting is Cable Modem mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is running.
When the current setting is Cable Modem mode and the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift is LAN on w hich the DHCP server is not running.
When the current setting is either Phone mode or Local Only mode and the network to which you want to shift is LAN on which the DHCP
server is running. (For example: From your home to your office.)
Note
Pay close attention to these changes. We strongly recommend that you consult w ith the netw ork administrator of the netw ork to w hich you w ant to shift
w hen making the changes.
Detailed Reasons
1.
Change the Access Point connection mode to the Cable Modem mode.
2.
Remove the Access Point from the network you are currently using and attach it to the network to which you want to connect,
then connect the pow er and start it up.
3.
Confirm that the computer that is installed with the PCWA-C100 Wireless LAN PC Card can be connected to the Access Point.
4.
It is possible, in this state, for file and printer sharing within the Wireless network and to access the Ethernet from the
Wireless side. Change the mode of the Access Point to LAN mode to share files and printers between the Wireless and the
Ethernet sides. The details of this are explained
here

4.
Start up the Custom Access Point Setup Utility on the client computer and make network settings on the WAN side of the
Access Point.
o
Leave the mode set to Cable Modem.
o
Select Static IP Address (WAN-side).
o
Set WAN IP Address and WAN Subnet Mask.
o
Set Default Router and DNS Server as necessary.
