Setting the Device on a Wall

You can place the ETA1305 on a wall. The bottom of the device is supplied with magnetic strips to attach on a metal partition.

Note:

When setting the device on a wall, take into consideration cable limitations and the durability of the wall structure.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Measure the distance from the middle of each mounting screw hole.

2. Mark the locations of the screw holes on the wall.

3. Drill a hole for each marked location.

4. Insert a wall anchor into each hole and insert a screw in each, leaving a 1/8 (3.1 mm) to a 1/4 (6.3 mm) of the screw out to hang the switch.

Setting the Device on a Desktop

You can place the ETA1305 on a desktop or shelf. The bottom of the device is supplied with magnetic strips to attach on a metal partition. The procedure is as follows:

1. Route the power cord to a wall outlet or power strip.

2. Lay the device down or attach it to a metal partition wall with the Ethernet ports facing out for easy access.

Take into consideration the Ethernet cabling and power cord length and location before setting your device on a desktop.

Note:

When setting the device on a desktop, take into consideration cable limitations.

Preparing to Connect the Device

This section guides you on the connection types to expect due to the operation modes. See the following illustrations to view the connection options.

AP Mode Connection

In AP Mode the device must be connected to your network or router. This operation method allows wireless devices to connect to your network.

Client Bridge Connection

In Client Bridge Mode the device is used to connect to two LAN segments through a wireless link. Both wireless links are on the same subnet broadcasts will reach all machines, allowing

DHCP clients in one segment to get their addresses from a

DHCP server in a different segment. You could use a Wireless

Bridge to transparently connect computer(s) in one room to

Link Layers

There are different ways of connecting your personal computer (PC) or mobile computing device to the Internet. Here are four of the most common ways and how to connect to the Internet using them.

Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)

A DHCP of connection is where your internet connection is usually always on and your internet service provider automatically provides you with an IP address. A DHCP connection is usually from a Cable internet service.

Static IP

To set up a Static IP connection, enter the following: IP Address of the Internet Connection, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and both

DNS Servers. This information can be obtained by either your Internet Service provider or Network Administrator. If your internet service provider requires a username and password to connect, you will then be prompted to enter the correct information.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE): To set up a PPPoE connection, enter the Username, Password, and Service (name) of the internet connection provided by your ISP. Click Next and the ERB300H/150H should connect to the internet successfully. A

PPPoE connection is usually from a DSL internet service.

1. Login: The username or e-mail address that the internet connection uses to access internet connectivity.

2. Password: The password that corresponds to the username or e-mail address used to connect to the internet in the PPPoE.

3. Service Name: The Service Name is optional. This is to signify the name of the Internet Service Provider.

4. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default

MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.

5. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

To set up a PPTP connection, enter the type of WAN connection (Static IP or DHCP). After, depending on the type of WAN, follow the instructions of DHCP or Static IP to fill out the corresponding information. Then, proceed to enter the Username, Password, Service, and Connection ID of the PPTP internet connection. Once completed, click Next. Once configured, the internet connection will successfully connect.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

To set up an L2TP connection, enter the type of WAN connection (Static IP or DHCP). After, depending on the type of WAN, follow the instructions of DHCP or Static IP to fill out the corresponding information. Then, proceed to enter the Username, Password, and

Service. Click next when completed. Once configured, the internet connection will successfully connect.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.
