Dynamic IP Addressing
Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual 33
Notes: If you configure both an Internal and Guest network and plan to use a dynamic
addressing policy for both, separate DHCP servers must be running on each net-
work.
A DHCP server is a requirement for the Guest network.
3.4.2 Dynamic IP Addressing
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway generally expects that a DHCP server is running on the
network where the AP is deployed. Most home and small business networks already have
DHCP service provided either via a gateway device or a centralized server. However, if no
DHCP server is present on the Internal network, the AP will use the default
Static IP
Address for first time startup.
Similarly, wireless clients and other network devices (such as printers) will receive their IP
addresses from the DHCP server, if there is one. If no DHCP server exists on the network,
you must manually assign static IP addresses to your wireless clients and other network
devices.
The Guest network must have a DHCP server.
3.4.3 Static IP Addressing
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway ships with a default Static IP Address of 192.168.1.10. (See
“Default Settings For The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway” on page 27.) If no DHCP server is
found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address at first-time startup.
After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on 9160 G2
Wireless Gateways and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the Internal network via the
access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the ‘
Connection Type’
field
and related fields in “Internal Interface Settings” on page 140.)
Important: If you do not have a DHCP server on the Internal network and do not plan to
use one, the first thing you must do after bringing up the access point is
change the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP. You can either assign a
new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We rec-
ommend assigning a new Static IP address so that if later you bring up
another 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway on the same network, the IP address for
each AP will be unique.
