DNS Forwarding - Select this option to allow a DNS server to translate domain names into IP
addresses. If this option is not selected, a primary and secondary DNS resource must be specified.
DNS forwarding is useful when a request for a domain name is made but the DNS server, responsible
for converting the name into its corresponding IP address, cannot locate the matching IP address.
Primary DNS - Enter an IP Address for the main Domain Name Server providing DNS services for
the Access Point's LAN interface.
Secondary DNS - Enter an IP Address for the backup Domain Name Server providing DNS services
for the Access Point's LAN interface.

Access Point’s DHCP server.
Static IP Address/Subnet - Enter an IP Address/Subnet and gateway for the Access Point's WAN
interface. These are required fields.

network. The ports available differ depending on the Access Point model deployed. Access point
models with a single port have this option fixed.

Point's WAN and LAN interfaces.
