Using the Setup Wizard
3 IP Configuration – Either enable or disable Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) for automatic IP configuration. If you disable DHCP, then
manually enter the IP address and subnet mask. If a management station
exists on another network segment, then you must enter the IP address for a
gateway that can route traffic between these segments. Then enter the IP
address for the primary and secondary Domain Name Servers (DNS) servers to
be used for host-name to IP address resolution.
Figure 15 Setup Wizard - Step 3
DHCP Client – With DHCP Client enabled, the IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway can be dynamically assigned to the access point by the
network DHCP server. (Default: Disabled)
4 Security – Set the Authentication Type to “Open” to allow open access
without authentication, or “Shared” to require authentication based on a
shared key. Enable encryption to encrypt data transmissions. To configure
other security features use the Advanced Setup menu as described in
Chapter 4.
NOTE:
If there is no DHCP server on your network, then the access point will
automatically start up with its default IP address, 169.254.2.1.
