The IP address will automatically be set if your network has DHCP.
Once the AP is connected to the network, it will attempt to get an address from a
DHCP server upon power up.
Note: The AP will use the stored address and will not try DHCP if an IP address has
been manually stored via the web manager.
Once the AP obtains an address from DHCP, it will not be stored. The AP will use DHCP
each time it boots or the IP lease expires.
TIP: A quick way to tell if the AP has an IP address is to monitor the system LED.
After power up, the system LED will blink three times per second if the AP does not
yet have an IP address. Once an address is obtained, the system LED will blink once
per second.
To have an IP address permanently stored, you must use the web manager.
Generally, if you use DHCP, your IP address, netmask, and router will automatically be
set. In some cases, your DNS servers will also be set. Be sure to set these settings
manually if they are not provided by DHCP.
