address. Configure these parameters in the TCP/IP Settings menu:
ˆ IP Address - A unique IP address.
ˆ IP Subnet Mask - The subnet mask that matches the other devices
in your network.
ˆ IP Router (Gateway) - If the access point will communicate with
devices on another subnet, enter the address of the router that will
forward frames.
Or, if you are using a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP
address to your access point, configure these parameters in the TCP/
IP Settings menu:
ˆ DHCP Mode - Set to .
ˆ DHCP Server Name - The name of the DHCP server that the
access point is to access for automatic address assignment. If no
server name is specified, the access point responds to offers from
any server.

Using a Web
Browser
Interface
After you have set the initial IP address, you can configure, manage, and
troubleshoot the access point from a remote location using a web browser
interface. The web browser interface has been tested using Internet
Explorer. Remotely accessing the access point using other browsers may
provide unpredictable results. When using the web browser interface,
keep the following points in mind:
ˆ Your session terminates if you do not use it for 15 minutes.
ˆ Command Console mode is not available.
Note
If you access the Internet using a proxy server, you must add the IP
address of the access point to your Exceptions list. The Exceptions
list contains the addresses that you do not want to use with a proxy
server.
