D-Link DWL_7100 manual Getting Started, IP Address

Getting Started

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DWL-7100AP will automati- cally connect with other D-Link AirPremierTM AG products.

IP ADDRESS

Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network you will not need to assign a static IP address.

If you need to assign IP addresses to the computers on the network, please remember that the IP address for each computer must be in the same IP address range as all the computers in the network, and the subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
