MSM320/MSM325
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)

Step 5: Assign an IP address to the MSM320
By default the MSM320 operates as a DHCP client. This means that if the network has a
DHCP server, the MSM320 will automatically receive a new IP address in place of its default
address of 192.168.1.1 upon connecting to the network. Use one of the following methods to
assign an IP address to the MSM320:
Pre-configure the DHCP
server
to assign a specific IP address to the MSM320. To do
this you need to specify the MSM320 Ethernet MAC address and a reserved IP address on
the DHCP server. The MSM320 Ethernet MAC address is printed on the MSM320 label
identified as
Ethernet Base MAC
, and listed on the management tool
Home
page as
Ethernet base MAC address
.
Let the DHCP server automatically
assign an IP address
. By default, the DHCP
server will assign an IP address once the MSM320 connects to the network. Once the
DHCP server has assigned the MSM320 an IP address, you can then find the IP address of
the MSM320 by looking for its Ethernet base MAC address in the DHCP server log. For
example after Step 6.4 below, you could go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IP
address assigned to the MSM320.
Assign a static IP address to the MSM320
. The address must be on the same subnet
as the network to which the MSM320 will connect.
1.
Select
Network > DNS
, and set the DNS server address. Select
Save
.
2.
Select
Network > Ports
>
Bridge port
.
3.
Select
Static
and then
Configure
. Configure settings as follows:
IP address:
Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which
the MSM320 will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated
static address ranges.
Mask:
Set the corresponding mask for the IP address.
Default gateway:
Set
the IP address of the gateway on the network.
4.
Select
Save
. Connection to the management tool is lost.
Step 6: Test the wireless network
For the purposes of this procedure, the network must have a DHCP server and an Internet
connection. Broadband routers typically include a DHCP server.
1.
Disconnect your computer from the PoE switch or injector or the MSM320.
2.
Power off the MSM320:
If using a PoE switch or injector, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the MSM320.
If using a power supply, disconnect it.
3.
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of the injector to
the network.
