Defining The Usage Of The C150Apm; Access Point Mode; Bridge Mode - Conceptronic C150APM Guía De Instalación Rápida

Before you can connect the C150APM properly, you need to define the usage of the C150APM.
The C150APM can be used in different environments and each environment requires its own special
configuration:

4.1 Access point mode

If you want to use the C150APM to make your existing wired network wireless, you need to connect (and
configure) the device as 'access point'.
- Connect the power supply to the power connection on the back of the C150APM and to an available
wall socket. The power LED on the front of the C150APM will lit up .
- Connect the network (LAN) cable to the LAN port on the back panel of the C150APM and to your
network.The LAN LED will light up, indicating that the network cable is connected correctly and the
connection is active.
The C150APM is now running as 'access point' in your network. Proceed to chapter 7 to connect a wireless
client to the C150APM.
Note: By default, the wireless network of the C150APM is secured with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (mixed
mode) encryption. This means you will not have to manually secure the wireless network. Refer
to the user manual (English only) on the included product CD-ROM if you want to manually change
the (security) settings of the C150APM.

4.2 Bridge mode

If you want to use the C150APM to connect a network equipped device (for example: a network printer,
network storage device, mediaplayer or game console) to a wireless network, you need to connect (and
configure) the device as 'bridge'.
Note: For the initial configuration of the C150APM as 'bridge', we strongly suggest to connect the access
point to your existing network (router, switch, etc.) or directly to your computer.
- Connect the power supply to the power connection on the back of the C150APM and to an available
wall socket. The power LED on the front of the C150APM will lit up.
- Connect the network (LAN) cable to the LAN port on the back panel of the C150APM and to your
network or computer. The LAN LED will light up, indicating that the network cable is connected
correctly and the connection is active.
The C150APM is now active, but running in 'access point' mode.
Proceed to chapter 5 to prepare your computer to configure the C150APM.
Proceed to chapter 6 to configure the C150APM in 'bridge' mode.
