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 activated).
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 LANCOM OAP Wireless operates as DHCP server in the
network; as a minimum its own IP address and the network mask
must be assigned.
Client: The LANCOM OAP Wireless obtains its address information
from another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the LANCOM OAP Wireless
Assign the LANCOM OAP Wireless 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.
DNS server
Enter the IP address of a DNS server to resolve domain names if you have
selected 'Off' as the DHCP mode of operation or if another network device
is assuming the role of DNS server in the 'Server' mode of operation.

Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the LANCOM OAP Wireless's configura-
tion and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's configuration
contains a great deal of sensitive data such as data for Internet access and
should be protected by a password in all cases.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with different access rights. Up to 16 different admi-
nistrators can be set up for a LANCOM OAP Wireless. Further informa-
tion can be found in the LCOS reference manual under “Managing
rights for different administrators”.
