If You Want To Switch from DHCP (Default): 

If you anticipate logging into the AP regularly to perform 
monitoring or maintenance (once it is in place), you may want 
to consider assigning a static IP address to the AP.

In a default AP configuration, the AP uses a DHCP-
assigned IP address.

Note: 

If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat 5e 

(or better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE 
injector or switch.
