The device will power on. The
Power/Status
light flashes amber while the device boots up
and then changes to steady green when the device is ready.
Assign an IP Address to the WatchGuard AP
There are two ways you can assign an IP address to the WatchGuard AP to connect the
device to your network:
Automatic IP address configuration by DHCP (default)
Manual IP address configuration
Automatic IP Address Configuration by DHCP
When first powered on, the WatchGuard AP is configured to automatically receive an IP
address from the network via DHCP. After the AP device receives an IP address, the
WatchGuard XTM can connect to the AP device through automatic discovery.
Manual IP Address Configuration
If you do not use DHCP on your network, you must directly connect to the WatchGuard AP
and assign an IP address to the device from its local Web UI.
