[Asterisk-Users] How to demo wired phone set on a wireless network

[David Norton]

There are 2 options available to you.

If you know the brand of wireless access point, you are able to try find a
repeater or bridge for that particular brand. Eg. If they using dlink
equipmenk, the DWL2100 can act as a repeater for it. Quite a few brands of
wireless equipment will only bridge to the same brand.

The second option is to use a "generic" style bridge, ie. One that you are
able to set to act as a "client" on their network. The Senoa client/bridges
are ideal for this and have a good power output too. I believe some linksys
equipment does this too but I have never tried it.

One thing to be careful of, when you are using a bridge, rather than
client/bridge, some equipment maps its own mac address to the IP address you
use, and will not allow you to have more than one real ip on the other end
of the bridge. This caused a few problems for me


Hope this helps.

I need to demo a Grandstream phone to a customer, but his IT is not able 
to give me for the demo a Ethernet cable with DHCP!!!

I need therefore a "wireless hub" ??? with the upstream connection to 
wireless!!!
Since I do not know how to name it I cannot google it!

Has anybody done such thing?

bye

Ronald
