Some network devices such as a wireless access point may act as a DHCP server. If this is
the case, follow the instructions for the LAN with DHCP server. For detailed information
consult the documentation that is specific to your network device.
LAN with a DHCP Server (Local Area Network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Many corporations use the LAN/Server with DHCP arrangement for their networks. In this type of setup
several computers are typically connected to a network that makes use of a DHCP server. In addition, one
or more WBK25 modules are connected to the network hub/switch.
LAN with a DHCP Server
Notes:
Using the WBK25 on a typical LAN may affect the speed of the network and internet data
transfer. Because of this we recommend adding a network card to the computer and using one
of the two dedicated network configurations.
➣
➣ Contact your network administrator before connecting a WBK25 to a corporate network.
LAN with no DHCP Server
(Local Area Network with no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
This scenario looks the same as that shown in the previous illustration, except there is no Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). In this type of setup one or more computers are connected to a network
and each computer has a static IP address.
