3.2.2.3 IP Settings
DHCP: DHCP is a protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses to networked computers. With
DHCP, a computer can automatically be given an exclusive IP address each time it logs on to a
network--making IP address management an easier job for network administrators. When a
computer connects to the network, the DHCP server selects an IP address from a master list and
assigns it to the system. The device must set to "Obtain the IP address automatically". The Wireless
Access Point
‘s DHCP server is disabled by default. If you would like to enable the DHCP server,
check the “DHCP server” option.
Fix IP Address: You may give a fixed IP address to WAP-1966 manually by choosing this radio
button.
IP Address: Set an IP address for the AP.
Subnet mask: Set the Subnet Mask for the AP.
Gateway: The IP address of a gateway device necessary for communication with devices
outside the subnet of the Access Point. If your network is not divided onto different subnets, this
can remain blank.
DHCP Client: If there is a DHCP Server in your LAN, you can select DHCP Client to let the
WAP-1966 be a client to get an IP address from your DHCP server.
