5-2 Setting Tips
●
Complete the settings described in this chapter and
shut down the computer before proceeding to Chapter
6 (
☞
p. 37).
●
Complete the settings described in Chapter 6 (

before connecting the AP-3 to a working LAN.
●
When constructing a TCP/IP network, it is necessary to
set the IP addresses of the computers that will be con-
nected to the network. (
☞
p. 17).
●
A computer running Windows will acquire the local IP
address from the AP-3 when Windows is started up
and a computer using a Macintosh operating system
will acquire the local IP address each time network
communications are begun (e.g., when the computer
accesses the internet or email).
Make sure the AP-3 unit is turned on and “Use DHCP
server function” is set to “Yes” on the screen shown on
page 52.
●
When the AP-3 unit attempts to allocate a local IP
address to a computer and another computer (non-
DHCP client for which local IP address was set manu-
ally) is already using the same local IP address, the
AP-3 unit will not detect the existence of the address
used by the other computer.
●
When [Routing Mode] (
☞
p. 51) is not used, the total
number of IP addresses that the AP-3 unit can allocate
automatically to both wireless and wired LAN comput-
ers is a 5 to 128. When [Routing Mode] is used, the AP-
3 unit can allocate 5 to 128 IP addresses to wireless
LAN computers and the same number to wired LAN
computers. The original factory setting for the number
of allocations is 30 for both wired and wireless LAN.
(

Avoid overlapping between the IP addresses of clients
(including clients having a wireless connection) con-
nected to the same network and the range of IP
addresses that the AP-3 unit can automatically allocate
to computers.
