Installation Options and Requirements
x
(Recommended) To set up and configure the access point, use a wired
client workstation connected to the access point directly or connected to
the wired LAN to which the access point is connected. Initial setup and
configuration must be done over a wired connection, but subsequent
changes can be made over a wireless connection.
x
(Optional) Use DHCP server support for automatic assignment of an IP
address to the access point over the wired network. You can configure
the access point to use DHCP to get its IP address. See Using DHCP
on page 8.
