High Level Configuration Steps Required for the 802.11G ACCESS POINT

This section describes configuration required for the 802.11G ACCESS POINT before it can

work properly in your network.

First, it is assumed that in your LAN environment, a separate DHCP server will be available

for assigning dynamic (and often private) IP addresses to requesting DHCP clients. This

means that the 802.11G ACCESS POINT normally will not need to enable the DHCP server

function.

Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the 802.11G

ACCESS POINT, including the SSID, Channel number, the WEP key, …, etc., it is necessary

to associate a fixed IP address with the 802.11G ACCESS POINT, which is why the 802.11G

ACCESS POINT will be shipped with a factory default private IP address of 192.168.1.1 (and

a network mask of 255.255.255.0).

Therefore, during the system installation time, you need to build an isolated environment with

the 802.11G ACCESS POINT and a PC or a wireless client, and then perform the following

steps:

 Manually change the IP address of the PC/wireless client to become 192.168.1.2
