DAbout DHCP server detection

The AP-12 searches the DHCP server automatically to connect with a wired LAN in which the DHCP server exists in. When no DHCP server is found within 30 sec. (approx.) from power ON, the default IP address is used for the AP-12.

The default IP address is “192.168.0.1”. However, when a DHCP server is found in the network, the AP-12 use the IP address obtained from the server.

Once the AP-12 power is turned OFF, then ON again, the AP-12 starts searching for the DHCP server for 30 sec. (approx.) again.
