3.4.3 Static IP Addressing

The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway ships with a default Static IP Address of
192.168.1.10. (See “Default Settings For The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway” on
page 27.)
If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP
address at first-
time startup.

After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on
9160 G2 Wireless Gateways and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the Internal
network via the access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the
Connection Type field and related fields in “Configuring LAN Or Internal Inter-
face Ethernet Settings” on page 136.)

Important:

If you do not have a DHCP server on the Internal network and do
not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after bringing up
the access point is change the Connection Type from DHCP to
Static IP. You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP
or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a
new Static IP address so that if later you bring up another 9160
G2 Wireless Gateway on the same network, the IP address for
each AP will be unique.

3.4.4 Recovering An IP Address

If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a
Static IP Address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see
“Resetting Factory Default Configuration” on page 253), or you can get a dynami-
cally assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has DHCP.
