Application #10 — Wi-Fi Access Point via the USB Port
The resident USB port on the EIPR-E allows expansion
to wireless networks once an appropriate wireless
adapter is inserted into the port. One possibility is
implementing a Wi-Fi access point — thereby
increasing the number of LAN-side clients.
After connecting a USB Wi-Fi adapter (IEEE 802.11b,
802.11g, etc.), the EIPR can become a Wi-Fi access
point. This will allow Wi-Fi devices to wirelessly
communicate with the EIPR and with each other. Each
wirelessly connected Wi-Fi device can receive a DHCP
assigned address from the EIPR. When wirelessly
connected, each Wi-Fi device can also communicate
directly with any EIPR LAN-connected devices and can
also route through the EIPR WAN port for access to
other subnets or to the Internet. The EIPR supports
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA, WPA2) security in its communications.
The other EIPR features, such as port forwarding, can
also be applied to the wirelessly connected Wi-Fi
devices. A list of supported Wi-Fi adapters can be
found on the Contemporary Controls website under the
EIPR product page.
