ˆIP Address - A unique IP address.

ˆIP Subnet Mask - The subnet mask that matches the other devices in your network.

ˆIP Router (Gateway) - If the access point will communicate with devices on another subnet, enter the address of the router that will forward frames.

Or, if you are using a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to your access point, configure these parameters in the TCP/ IP Settings menu:

ˆDHCP Mode - Set to <Use DHCP if IP Address is Zero>.

ˆDHCP Server Name - The name of the DHCP server that the access point is to access for automatic address assignment. If no server name is specified, the access point responds to offers from any server.

Using a Web

Browser

Interface

When the access point is done rebooting, you are ready to install the access point in your network. See Chapter 2, “Installing the Access Points” on page 49.

After you have set the initial IP address, you can configure, manage, and troubleshoot the access point from a remote location using a web browser interface. The web browser interface has been tested using Internet Explorer. Remotely accessing the access point using other browsers may provide unpredictable results. When using the web browser interface, keep the following points in mind:

ˆYour session terminates if you do not use it for 15 minutes.

ˆCommand Console mode is not available.

Note

If you access the Internet using a proxy server, you must add the IP address of the access point to your Exceptions list. The Exceptions list contains the addresses that you do not want to use with a proxy server.
