6.2.2 Step 2 Password and Uplink Connection
Use this screen to configure the NWA1000 Series’s system password and IP address.
Change Password
: Enter a new password and retype it to confirm.
Uplink Connection
: Select
Auto (DHCP)
if the NWA1000 Series is connected to a router with the DHCP
server enabled. You then need to check the router for the IP address assigned to the NWA1000 Series in
order to access the NWA1000 Series’s web configurator again.
Otherwise, select
Static IP
when the NWA1000 Series is NOT connected to a router or you want to assign
it a fixed IP address. You will need to manually enter:
• the NWA1000 Series’s IP address and subnet mask.
• the IP address of the router that helps forward traffic.
• a DNS server's IP address. The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address
and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP
address of a computer before you can access it.
