Figure 6—Basic Network Setup Page
Hostname: Enter a name to be used to refer to the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge in your wired network.
For your network to be able to identify the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge using this name it typically
needs a domain name service (DNS) server.
Note: This entry is NOT the name that wireless users see when searching for the wireless
network; that name is specified for the extended service set identifier (ESSID).
Domain: Enter the name of the domain where the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge will be used.
IP Address: Enter a static IP address for the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge. The Quick Setup pages do not
support DHCP client operation to obtain an automatic IP address; however, you can use the
command line interface (CLI) to enable DHCP assignment of the IP address.
Note: The IP address and Netmask are assigned to the default bridge (br0) during the Quick
Setup process. If you need to delete the default bridge for your desired configuration, enter
the standard information in the Quick Setup pages and reboot the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge, then
access the configuration pages again and select the Network tab. Assign the IP address to the
desired interface (logical or physical) before deleting the bridge.
Netmask: Enter an IP net mask for the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the default gateway for your wired network.
