 If you have previously set up your WLAN using 

the 3e–527A3 devices as access points and you decide to change 

the configuration to gateway mode, you will need to convert 

the MAC addresses on each wireless device that has been set 

up so they can be seen by the reconfigured system. This is ac-

complished by the following procedure, done on each device 

that was configured to use the 3e–527A3 when the system was 

set up as an access point system. Pull up a System Prompt (“c:\” 

prompt, also called an MSDOS prompt) on the wireless device’s 

desktop. type: arp -d and hit return. This reconfigures the MAC 

address in the wireless device’s PC card so that it is now visible 

to the gateway.

Chapter 3 covered the default configuration of the 3e–527A3 Wireless 

Access Point as an access point, for use as part of a host wired network. 

This chapter covers configuration as a gateway.  

If additional security for the wireless network is desired (differen–

tiating it from the wired network to which it is connected), set it up in 

gateway mode. Gateway mode takes advantage of some built-in  “router” 

functions, such as the gateway’s ability to do Network Address Transla-

tion (NAT), providing private IP addresses for the wireless clients.

The illustration on the following page shows the difference between 

AP and Gateway mode.
