Automatic Discovery of InstantWave Products
A powerful automatic-discovery algorithm is built into the InstantWave Network
Management System. With a simple click on the “Discovery” icon, all
InstantWave APs, WWBs, and WECs within the subnet will be discovered. This
discovery feature is based on the following techniques:
• DHCP Client and IP recovery: InstantWave APs, WWBs, and
WECs have a built-in DHCP client and will request an IP address
from a DHCP server so that SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) can be further applied. Should there be a failure of the
DHCP server; when it recovers, the AP, WWB, and WEC will
automatically negotiate for a new IP address
• Auto-IP: When the AP, WWB, or WEC cannot get an IP address
from a DHCP server, they will auto-assign an IP address of
169.254.x.x , and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
A Windows OS PC originally configured as a DHCP client will
follow the same algorithm to assign itself an IP address in the same
subnet. Users may need to renew the IP settings (see the following
section), otherwise Windows may continue to use the previous IP
address instead of executing the Auto-IP procedure
