2.2.2 LAN Installation: Overview
Because the 9160 G2 provides Ethernet connectivity, it can be added to an existing
LAN. Generally, LAN installations are handled with the help of the network admin-
istrators, as they are familiar with their network and its configuration. Once the 9160
G2 is installed, connected and powered on, the system administrator can access the
unit to check the configuration and to assign the 9160 G2 its unique IP address. This
may be done through the network (see “Changing The Configuration With A Web
Browser” on page 23). Subsequent changes in the network, such as the addition of
stations or users, would also require that the 9160 G2 configuration be changed.
Important: Once the 9160 G2 is configured and rebooted the first time, the
DHCP should be disabled unless the 9160 G2 obtains its IP
address from a server.
