include:
•
System Name

identify the access point/bridge on your network. The name appears in the titles of the management
system pages.
•
Configuration Server Protocol
—Click the button that matches the network’s method of IP address
assignment.
–
DHCP
—IP addresses are automatically assigned by your network’s DHCP server.
Note
When DHCP is enabled, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields indicate
Negotiated by DHCP
.
–
Static IP
—The access point/bridge uses a static IP address that you enter in the IP address field.
•
IP Address
—Use this setting to assign or change the access point/bridge’s IP address. If DHCP is
enabled for your network, leave this field blank.
Note
If the access point/bridge’s IP address changes while you are configuring the access point/bridge
using the web-browser interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your
connection to the access point/bridge. If you lose your connection, reconnect to the access
point/bridge using its new IP address.
