Getting Started

a. Select the
Enable LAN Interface
checkbox to forward data traffic over the access
point’s LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.
b. Use the
This Interface
drop-down menu to specify how network address information
is defined over the LAN connection. Select
DHCP Client
if the larger corporate network
uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and
delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some
of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select
DHCP Server
to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection. Select the
Bootp
client
option to enable a diskless system to discover its own IP address.
.
c. Enter the network-assigned
IP Address
of the access point.
d. The
Subnet Mask
defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify
the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network.
These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data
transmission.
e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a
Default Gateway
to
define the
numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet as its default
gateway.
f. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the
Primary DNS Server
numerical IP
address.
g. If using the DHCP Server option, use the
Address Assignment Range
parameter to
specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually
(static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could
still be assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all statically mapped IP
addresses are outside of the IP address range assigned to the DHCP server.
For additional access point LAN port configuration options, see
Configuring the LAN
Interface on page 5-1
.
NOTE
Motorola recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not both be
configured as DHCP clients.
NOTE
DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address for the access point.
The user is required to enter a numerical IP address.
