Field
Description
IP Address
IP address of the AP (e.g., default is 192.168.1.1)
Netmask
The default is 255.255.255.0.
Default Router
The default is 192.168.1.254.
Ethernet
Speed
The speed at which data travels over the Ethernet connection. Setting options are:
Auto, 10 Mbit, and 100 Mbit. The default setting is “Auto” which monitors the
connection and displays the current speed.
Duplex Mode
Setting options are: Auto, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex. The default setting is “Auto”
which displays the current duplex mode.
Ethernet MTU
The largest frame size that can be transmitted over the network. The default setting
is 1500 bytes. Messages longer than the Ethernet MTU indicated in this field must be
divided into smaller frames.
DNS Servers
The IP address of the DNS server can be set in this text field. Multiple DNS servers
can be configured for an AP by separating the IP addresses of each DNS server with a
comma when entering them into the text field. The following DNS server addresses
are the defaults:
 208.67.222.222
 208.67.220.220
 8.8.8.8
 8.8.4.4
NTP Servers
The AP should be configured with valid NTP servers for correct time synchronization.
If the AP is not configured, it may have problems connecting to the Total Reach
Gateway using SSL. The following NTP server addresses are the defaults:
 nist1-nj.ustiming.org
 nist1-atl.ustiming.org
 nist1-la.ustiming.org
 nist1-sj.ustiming.org
 nist1-lv.ustiming.org
 time.nist.gov
As with DNS server configuration, multiple NTP server IP addresses can be entered
into this text field separated with commas.
Procedure for Changing IP Address Settings
The AP uses IP aliasing to prevent it from being inaccessible when changing the IP address. This
feature allows the AP to be accessible in the event that an incorrect IP address is inadvertently
entered. In this case, the old IP address would be used.
19. Change the IP address settings on Primary. The old Primary settings roll over to Secondary.
20. Click on the Save button and you are prompted to reboot the AP. An AP “reboot” is
required in most cases.
21. After the AP is rebooted, verify that the primary address settings are good.
22. If the primary settings are good, optionally disable Secondary to avoid any IP address
collisions.
23. If the primary settings are incorrect:
