DESCRIPTION

Obtain IP Address

Select this option if your NWA is using a dynamically assigned IP address

from a DHCP server each time.

 

Note: You must know the IP address assigned to the NWA (by the DHCP

 

server) to access the NWA again.

 

 

Use Fixed IP Address

Select this option if your NWA is using a static IP address. When you select

 

this option, fill in the fields below.

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your NWA in dotted decimal notation.

 

Note: If you change the NWA's IP address, you must use the new IP address

 

if you want to access the web configurator again.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Type the subnet mask.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor

 

of your NWA that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN,

 

the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NWA; over the

 

WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

 

 

Spanning Tree

(R)STP (Section 11.5.2 on page 107) detects and breaks network loops and

 

provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a

 

bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to

 

ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

 

Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA.
