Yes. Any device with Ethernet capability can be connected to the client port of the WLCH261 WEC, including servers, printers, scanners, web cams and PDAs. The WEC must be set to activate its wireless interface automatically upon power-up, and to keep that interface active all the times. Do this as follows: Go to the WEC Utility’s Configuration panel and choose Ethernet. The Ethernet Access Control dialog box will appear Under Idle Time, select (enable) the “Always Connect” option. To test the configuration, connect a test device to the WECs Ethernet port and “ping” the test device from a PC station on the network.
