Configuring the

Access Point as

a DHCP Client

You can use a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address and
other TCP/IP settings 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.

Note

If you are using the Embedded Authentication Server feature, do
not configure the access point as a DHCP client.

To configure the access point as a DHCP client

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

screen appears.

2. In the DHCP Mode field, choose either Always Use DHCP or Use

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