DESCRIPTION

Get from DHCP

Click this to deploy the WAP3205 as a DHCP client in the network.

Server

When you enable this, the WAP3205 gets its IP address from the network’s

 

 

DHCP server (for example, your ISP or router). Users connected to the

 

WAP3205 can now access the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address is

 

given by the ISP or a router with Internet access).

 

The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP

 

address assigned by the DHCP server to the WAP3205. Otherwise, you need to

 

reset the WAP3205 to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see

 

Section 12.7 on page 110 for details on how to reset the WAP3205).

 

Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your WAP3205 in

 

the field below.
