Connect the WBS-202N/WBS-502N with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port on one side and in
LAN port of PC on the other side. Please power on the WBS-202N/WBS-502N by PoE switch through the PoE
port.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows 10. And
the procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and
refer to the Ethernet adapter manual if needed.
4.1.1 Configuring the IP Address Manually
Summary:
 Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
 Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (If the default IP address of the
WBS-202N/WBS-502N is 192.168.1.253, and the DSL router is 192.168.1.254, the "xxx" can be
configured to any number from 1 to 252.) and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
1 Select Use the following IP address, and then configure the IP address of the PC.
2 For example, as the default IP address of the WBS-202N/WBS-502N is 192.168.1.253 and the DSL router
is 192.168.1.254, you may choose from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252.

Appendix C: Glossary
 802.11ac - 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the 802.11 family (which is marketed under the
brand name Wi-Fi), developed in the IEEE Standards Association process, providing high-throughput
wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band.
 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input
multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data
throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps
through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was
formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology
specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.
 802.11a - 802.11a was an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless local network specifications that
defined requirements for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication
system. It was originally designed to support wireless communication in the unlicensed national
information infrastructure (U-NII) bands (in the 5–6 GHz frequency range) as regulated in the United
States by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Section 15.407.
 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and
WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum

(DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at
2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security.
 DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain name to
a dynamic Internet IP Address.
 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP
parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.
 DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet
for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
 DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP
addresses.
 Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.
 DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing
traditional phone lines.
 ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
-80-
 MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted.
 NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network
to a different IP address for the Internet.
 PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to
the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
 SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a
wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all
devices must be c onfigured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a
wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network
name.
 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
 Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet
Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group promoting
interoperability among 802.11b devices.
 WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices communicate
with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.
