If no other access points are operating within the access point's range, any
radio channel can be set. Otherwise the channels in the 2.4 GHz band must
be selected in such a way that they do not overlap and are as far apart as pos-
sible. In the 5 GHz band the automatic setting, where the LANCOM Access
Point uses TPC and DFS to select the best channel is normally sufficient.
Please refer to the LCOS reference manual for more information on
TPC and DFS.

LANconfig automatically detects new LANCOM devices in the TCP/IP net-
work.
If the search detects an unconfigured device, the Setup Wizard launches
to help you with its basic settings, or indeed to handle the entire process
on your behalf (assuming that the appropriate networking environment
exists).
If the Setup Wizard does not start automatically, you can manually
search for new devices at all interfaces (if the LANCOM OAP Wireless
is connected via the serial configuration interface) or in the network
(

).
If the Setup Wizard does not start automatically, you can search for
new devices in the network manually (

).
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM OAP Wireless, the pro-
blem may be the LAN netmask: In case there are less than 254 poten-
tial hosts available (netmask >'255.255.255.0'), you must ensure that
the IP address 'x.x.x.254' is available in your subnet.
