o For DHCP, the device looks for configuration details from a DHCP server on your
management LAN. This selection disables any static address. The device MAC
address can be found on a label on the base plate
2. The wireless LAN when enabled in client mode operates as the main network connection to the
device so failover is available. Use Failover Interface to select the device to failover to in case of
wireless outage and specify Probe Addresses of the peers to probed for connectivity detection
3. Configure the Wireless Client to select the local wireless network which serves as the main
network connection to the console server.
o Select the Country the device is to operate in
o Enter the appropriate SSID (Set Service Identifier) of the wireless access point to connect
to
o Select the Wireless Network Type where Infrastructure is used to connect to an access
point and Ad-hoc to connect to a computer
o Select the Wireless Security mode of the wireless network (WEP, WPA etc.) and enter the
required Key / Authentication / Encryption settings
NOTE The Wireless Network Interface screen in Status > Statistics displays all locally accessible
wireless LANs (with SSID and Encryption/Authentication settings). You can also use this screen to
confirm you have connected to the selected access point.
2.6.6 Static routes
Static routes provide a very quick way to route data from one subnet to different subnet. You can hard
code a path that tells the console server/router to get to a certain subnet using a certain path. This may be
useful for accessing various subnets at a remote site when using the cellular OOB connection.
