Should you still configure manually?
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is optional. Instead of this you can select
manual configuration. Make this selection after considering the following:
Select automatic configuration if you are
not
familiar with networks and
IP addresses.
Select manual TCP/IP configuration if you are familiar with networks and
IP addresses and one of the following statements is true:
You have not yet used any IP addresses in your network but would like
to now; You would like to specify the IP address for the router yourself
and would like to assign it a user-defined address from one of the
address ranges reserved for private use, for example '10.0.0.1' with
a network mask of '255.255.255.0'. If you do this you simultaneously
specify the address range that the DHCP server will subsequently use
for the other devices in the network (provided the DHCP server is acti-
vated).
You have so far also used IP addresses on the computers in the LAN.
Required information for manual TCP/IP configuration
When performing manual TCP/IP configuration the Setup Wwizard prompts
you for the following information:
DHCP mode of operation
Off: The IP addresses required must be entered manually.
Server: The L-300 Access Point operates as DHCP server in the net-
work; as a minimum its own IP address and the network mask must
be assigned.
Client: The L-300 Access Point obtains its address information from
another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the L-
300 Access Point
Assign the L-300 Access Point a free IP address from your LAN's address
range and enter the network mask.
Gateway address
Enter the gateway's IP address if you have selected 'Off' as the DHCP
mode of operation or if another network device is assuming the role of
gateway in the 'Server' mode of operation.
