How do I configure the WLAN Partition (filter) on my DWL-2700AP?

The DWL-2700AP allows you to select whether or not either wireless band can pass information, via the Inter-Wireless Client Connect option. If this feature is not enabled, that particular wireless band will not be able to pass any information through the Access Point. This feature effectively segregates the wireless band of your choice from the rest of the Network. With Ethernet to WLAN Access disabled, information sent from the Ethernet side will not be passed to the Wireless Clients. However, wireless clients will still be able to transmit across Ethernet for browsing, etc.

Step 1 Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-2700AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.50). Press Enter.

Step 2 The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3 Click the Advanced tab and then click Filters.

Step 4 Click WLAN Partition.



Step 5 Two filters are available to control traffic on your network. Check Enabled using the check boxes to enable the features below:

Inter-Wireless Client Connect

• Enabled - this will allow wireless clients to communicate with each other (within the same wireless band).
• Disabled - wireless clients are not allowed to exchange data with each other (within the same wireless band).

Ethernet to WLAN Access

• Enabled - Ethernet devices can exchange data with wireless devices using the Access Point.
• Disabled - Ethernet devices are not allowed to send data to wireless devices associated with the Access Point. However, wireless devices can still send data to the Ethernet devices.

Step 6 Click Apply to save the settings.
