Assigning an IP Address
The AT-WL2411 will work directly out of the box if you are using a DHCP
server to assign it an IP Address. By default, the access point is
configured to be a DHCP client. However, if you are not using a DHCP
server to assign IP Address, you must assign the access point an IP
Address before you can manage it remotely.
1. To use DHCP to automatically assign an IP Address, configure the
following parameters in the TCP/IP Settings Menu. These parameters
are describe below.
DHCP Mode
Set to .
DHCP Server Name
The name of the DHCP server that the AT-WL2411 is to access for
automatic address assignment. If no server name is specified, the
AT-WL2411 responds to offers from any server.
To assign an IP Address manually, configure these parameters in
the TCP/IP Settings Menu:
IP Address
A unique IP Address.
IP Subnet Mask
The subnet mask that matches the other devices in your network.
IP Router (Gateway)
The address of the router that will forward frames if the
AT-WL2411 will communicate with devices on a subnetwork.
2. If you are configuring a AT-WL2411, you must configure Node Type in
the Wireless Bridging submenu of the 802.11b Radio Menu. Configure
Node Type as Master if this access point will communicate with end
devices; configure it as Station if you are configuring a access point to
communicate with an Master access point on the wired network.
3. In the Spanning Tree Settings Menu, configure LAN ID (Domain). All
access points must have the same LAN ID to participate in the same
spanning tree.
