DHCP Status — Enables/disables DHCP on the access point.
◆
IP Address — Specifies an IP address for management of the access
point. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. (Default: 192.168.1.1.)
◆
Subnet Mask — Indicates the local subnet mask. Select the desired
mask from the drop down menu. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
◆
Default Gateway — The default gateway is the IP address of the
router for the access point, which is used if the requested destination
address is not on the local subnet.
If you have management stations, DNS, RADIUS, or other network
servers located on another subnet, type the IP address of the default
gateway router in the text field provided.
◆ Primary and Secondary DNS Address — The IP address of Domain
Name Servers on the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to
domain names and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar
names instead of the IP addresses.
If you have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type
the IP addresses in the text fields provided.
Make sure to type the correct DNS server address or the following
message will display.

After you have network access to the access point, you can use the web
browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed.
If there is no DHCP server on your network, or DHCP fails, the access point
will automatically start up with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication
protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to
RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a
database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the
network.
