Setting Up the device
The 802.11G ACCESS POINT can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or
wireless network. To do this, the 802.11G ACCESS POINT must first be assigned an IP
address, which can be done using one of the following two methods.
STATIC IP
The default IP address of the LAN interface of an 802.11G ACCESS POINT is a private IP
address of 192.168.1.1, and a network mask of 255.255.255.0. This means IP addresses of other
devices on the LAN should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
This IP address can be modified to either a different address in this same subnet or to an
address in a different subnet, depending on the settings of the DHCP server in the network.
AUTOMATIC IP
The 802.11G ACCESS POINT can also be configured to “obtain” an IP address
automatically from a DHCP server on the network. This address is called “dynamic” because
it is only dynamically assigned to the device, which may change depending on the IP assignment
policy used by the DHCP server in the network. Since the IP address in this case may change
from time to time, this method is not recommended - unless the user uses UPnP or other
management tools that do not depend on a fixed IP address.
