NXA-WAP1000 Smart Wireless Access Point
Internet
The
Internet
page (FIG. 9) displays information on the AP’s network settings; i.e., the settings that allow the
AP to communicate with your local network and the Internet. Information includes IP address, gateway, DNS
server, NTP server and connection type (method of obtaining an IP address -- DHCP or static IP).
Renewing or Releasing DHCP
This task should be performed only if you have access to the DHCP server or have some way to determine
what IP address has been assigned to the AP. It serves as a troubleshooting technique when IP addresses to one
or more networked devices prove to be unusable or in conflict with others, or when the AP loses its DHCP
assigned IP address for some reason.
To renew or release DHCP:
1.
Go to
Status > Internet
.
2.
Review the current settings.
3.
If the current Connection Type is
DHCP
, you will be able to see the currently assigned IP address and
subnet mask listed below.
4.
If the IP address is 192.168.0.1, the AP is not receiving an IP address from the DHCP server.
To force the DHCP server to renew the IP address assigned to this AP, click
Renew DHCP
. If the
AP is listed in the DHCP server’s address table, it will attempt to reassign the previous address to
the AP (unless the address is already in use).
To force the DHCP server to assign a new IP address, click
Release DHCP
, then
Renew DHCP
.
Your changes take place immediately.
