4.6 Network Screen
4.6.1 Deployment Scenarios
How you configure this screen depends on how you deploy the WPA-1000 in your network.
See
Figure 1 on page 21 , Figure 2 on page 22 and Figure 3 on page 22 for example
deployments.
The WPA-1000 can act as a DHCP server if you do not already have one in your network. A
DHCP server can assign private IP addresses to connected computers in your network. You
should disable DHCP server functionality on your WPA-1000 if another DHCP server, such as
one at your ISP, assigns IP addresses to computers on your network.
As shown in
Figure 2 on page 22 , you can also connect to the WPA-1000 via an access point
(A). The AP may have connections to more than one WPA-1000, (W1) and (W2) via a switch
or router (S) as shown in the next example. Once connected to the AP, a user (U) can use
projectors (P1) and (P2), that are connected to (W1) and (W2), without having to join a new
wireless network.
