3. Use the Port Settings field to define how the access point manages throughput over the WAN
port.
4. Configure the PPP over Ethernet field to enable high speed dial-up connections to the Mobility
7131 Access Point WAN port.
Default Gateway Specify the gateway address for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. The ISP
or a network administrator provides this address.
Primary DNS Server Specify the address of a primary Domain Name System (DNS) server. The ISP or a network
administrator provides this address.
A DNS server translates a domain name (for example, www.brocade.com) into an IP
address that networks can use.
Secondary DNS Server Specify the address of a secondary DNS server if one is used. A secondary address is
recommended if the primary DNS server goes down.
More IP Addresses Click the More IP Addresses button to specify additional static IP addresses for the
Mobility 7131 Access Point. Additional IP addresses are required when users within the
WAN need dedicated IP addresses, or when servers need to be accessed (addressed) by
the outside world. The More IP Addresses screen allows the administrator to enter up to
seven additional WAN IP addresses for the Mobility 7131 Access Point WAN. Only numeric,
non-DNS names can be used.
If PPP over Ethernet is enabled from within the WAN screen, the
VPN WAN IP
Configuration portion of the More IP Addresses screen is enabled. Enter the IP address
and subnet mask used to provide the PPPoE connection over the access point’s WAN port.
Ensure the IP address is a numerical (non DNS) name.
Refresh Click the Refresh button to update the network address information displayed within the
WAN IP Configuration field.
Auto Negotiation Select the Auto Negotiation checkbox to enable the access point to automatically
exchange information (over its WAN port) about data transmission speed and duplex
capabilities.
Auto negotiation is helpful when using the access point in an environment where different
devices are connected and disconnected on a regular basis.
Selecting Auto Negotiate disables the Mbps and duplex checkbox options.
1000 Mbps Select this option to establish a 1000 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex
or full duplex transmission over the access point’s LAN port. This option is not available if
Auto Negotiation is selected.
100 Mbps Select this option to establish a 100 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or
full duplex transmission over the access point’s WAN port. This option is not available if
Auto Negotiation is selected.
10 Mbps Select this option to establish a 10 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or
full duplex transmission over the access point’s WAN port. This option is not available if
Auto Negotiation is selected.
half duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point, but not at the same time.
Using a half duplex transmission, the access point can send data over its WAN port then
immediately receive data from the same direction in which the data was transmitted. Like
a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry data in both directions,
just not at the same time.
full duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point at the same time. Using full
duplex, the access point can send data over its WAN port while receiving data as well.
