When connecting the AP-12 to a bridging type modem (or in
bridging mode) directly, a global IP address may be assigned to
the AP-12 from the modem, according to the modem settings.
When a global IP address is assigned to the AP-12, an illegal
operator, such as a cracker, a hacker, may access it.
To avoid such access, connect a router between the modem
and the AP-12.
The bridge type modem assigns a global IP address to the connect-
ed PC (only one).
The router type modem assigns a private IP address (e.g.192.168.x.x)
to the connected PCs via the HUB by the built-in routing function. The
AP-12 can be connected to a router type modem directly.
Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you do not know your
modem type.
About exchanging the AP-12 or the PC connected to the AP-12.
The AP-12 memorizes the communication settings between the AP-
12 and the connected PC. Thus, if the AP-12 and/or the PC con-
nected to it changed, communication may fail.
In such case, turn the AP-12 power OFF. After waiting a few sec-
onds, turn the power ON again.
