Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.1.3
¾
Connect the PC to the GW-AP54SAG and change its configuration to a static IP address
based on your network environment. For example, if there is a DHCP server that assigns IP
addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 - 192.168.23.254 to DHCP client devices, it can reserve
192.168.23.10 for the GW-AP54SAG and then the address pool with the DHCP server be-
comes 192.168.23.11 – 192.168.23.254.
If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just have to make sure that
there is no machine in the environment has the same IP address as another machine.
Please note that after you change the IP address of the ACCESS POINT, the PC client may
not be able to reach the ACCESS POINT. This is because they may no longer belong to the
same IP network address space.

Change the setting of the PC back to “obtain IP addresses dynamically”.
Now you can put the GW-AP54SAG and the PC to your network where the DHCP server is
connected. From then on, any wireless client configured to “obtain IP addresses dynamically”
will work with the AP, with each other, and with devices on the wired LAN network.
Setting up a Windows PC or wireless client as DHCP clients
The following will give detailed steps of how to configure a PC or a wireless client to “obtain
IP addresses automatically”. For other types of configuration, please refer to the correspond-
ing user manual.
In the case of using a LAN attached PC, the PC must have an Ethernet interface installed
properly, be connected to the GW-AP54SAG either directly or through an external LAN
switch, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically from
a DHCP server in the network.
In the case of using a wireless client, the client must also have an 802.11a/b/g wireless inter-
face installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the GW-AP54SAG, and have
TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server
in the network.
Then perform the following steps for either of the cases above. To configure types of worksta-
tions other than Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, please consult the manufacturer’s documen-
tation.
Step 1.
From the Win95/98/2000 Start Button, select Settings, then
Control Panel. The Win95/98/2000/XP Control Panel dis-
plays.
Step 2.
Double-click on the
Network
icon.
