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:
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 radio will communicate with
end devices; configure it as Station if you are configuring a WAP and
this radio will communicate with an 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.
4. In the 802.11b radio menu, configure these parameters:
(SSID) Network Name
The network name. All 802.11b radios must have the same
network name to communicate.
