Configuring the

Access Point as

a DHCP Client

You can use a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP Address to your
access point; that is, the access point can act as a DHCP client.

Note

You cannot configure the access point as both a DHCP server and a
DHCP client.

To configure the access point as a DHCP client, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, select TCP/IP Settings. The TCP/IP Settings

screen as shown in Figure 17 is displayed.

2. Select the down arrow on the right side of the DHCP Mode field and

choose either Always Use DHCP or Enabled, if IP Address is Zero. If
you choose Enabled, if IP Address is Zero, make sure that the IP
Address field is 0.0.0.0.
