waP

Wireless access Point (WaP) is a Network device that allows Wireless devices access to a con-
nected network via WiFi, Bluetooth™ and other related standards. A WAP is typically used in con-
junction with a Router on the Network to supply the DHCP Server for Automatic IP Address Assign-
ment (A Router is not required in this scenario, Static IP Addresses can be used to allow devices
on a Network to communicate with a WAP setup). Some Wireless Routers work both as a Network
Router and Gateway as well as the Wireless Access Point. When a Wireless setup is to be used with
the StreamNet devices, the WiFi access is for 3rd party devices only (not the StreamNet devices).
Many currently shipping StreamNet devices will not work on a wireless segment or Wireless Bridge,
these StreamNet devices must be directly connected to the Master or Slave switches. When choos-
ing a Router to be used with the StreamNet products, it is recommended using a Router capable
of disabling the IGMP feature set or does not elect to subscribe to the Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP or Multicast) as well as turning off Broadcast filters and Storm Controls.
