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 127 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.
