TCP / IP SETTINGS
Configuring the access point with an IP address expands your ability to manage
the access point. A number of access point features depend on IP addressing to
operate.
By default, the access point will be automatically configured with IP settings from
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Use 3Com Wireless
Infrastructure Device Manager to discover or set the initial IP address of the unit.
WIDMAN will allow you to launch a web browser on the Access Point's web
management interface by selecting the Access Point and the configure button.

NOTE: You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
access point already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
NOTE: If there is no DH CP server on your ne twork, or DHCP fails , the access point
will automatically start up with a default IP address of 169.254.2.1.
