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:

DHCP Mode

Set to .

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.

8. Press to return to the Access Point Configuration menu.

9. Choose Save Configuration.

10. Choose Reboot.

When the access point is done rebooting, you are ready to install the
access point in your network. See Chapter 2, Installing the Access
Points
on page 45.

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 v3.0 and later and Netscape Communicator v4.0 and
later. Remotely accessing the access point using other browsers may
provide unpredictable results.

Only one session can be active with the access point at a time. If your
session terminates abruptly or a new login screen appears, someone
else may have accessed the access point. When using the web browser
interface, keep the following points in mind:

‰ Your session terminates if you do not use it for 15 minutes.

‰ 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.
