Configuring airPoint-PRO

a)

Configuring airPoint-PRO connected to Ethernet LAN

Connect the airPoint-PRO to your normal LAN. Make sure the power to the

airPoint-PRO is ON.

Note 1:

By Default airPoint-PRO runs a DHCP Client. So the IP Address will be

acquired from the DHCP Server.

Note 2:

In case if the DHCP Server is not available then airPoint-PRO will time out the

search for DHCP Server after 1 minute and use the last obtain IP address. So
in that case the airPoint-PRO can be searchable only after 1 min. This situation
will arrive if you give the static IP address to your PC and connect airPoint-PRO
directly to the PC with DHCP Client running in it.

If your LAN doesn't have a DHCP server but instead you run the PCs with Static IPs
then you need to assign a Temporary IP Address to the PC to connect to the airPoint-
PRO. (See Appendix A to assign a Temporary IP address.)
