Parameter

 

Explanation

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

 

Enter the IP address of the access point. The IP

 

 

address has the form x.x.x.x, where x is a number

 

 

from 0 to 255.

 

 

 

IP Subnet Mask

 

Enter the subnet mask that matches the other

 

 

devices in your network. The subnet mask has

 

 

the form x.x.x.x, where x is a number from 0 to

 

 

255.

 

 

If you use DHCP to obtain an IP address for this

 

 

access point, the subnet mask that is obtained

 

 

from DHCP will supersede this one.

 

 

 

IP Router

 

Enter the IP address of the router that will forward

(Gateway)

 

frames if the access point will communicate with

 

 

devices on another subnet. The IP address has

 

 

the form x.x.x.x, where x is a number from 0 to

 

 

255.

 

 

 

DNS Address 1

 

Enter the IP address of a domain name server

 

 

that the access point uses to resolve DNS

 

 

names. If this access point is a DHCP server, this

 

 

DNS address will be distributed to DHCP clients.

 

 

You can enter up to two DNS addresses to be

 

 

delivered to DHCP clients.

 

 

 

DNS Address 2

 

Enter the IP address of a domain name server

 

 

that the access point uses to resolve DNS names

 

 

if the DNS server at DNS Address 1 is not

 

 

responding. If this access point is a DHCP server,

 

 

this DNS address will be distributed to DHCP

 

 

clients.
