Assigning An IP Address

EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):
This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The
items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup.
Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select
a ‘Certificate’. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to
select a Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 105 provides a
website that outlines how to create certificates for your network.

6. Saving and exiting the radio setup.

Once you have completed your configuration, press [ENTER] or tap
on OK.

The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a
preferred network. The radio will search for the SSID and will compare the WEP
and authentication information you specified. If there is a match between your 8525
G2/8530 G2 settings and the access point settings, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will
communicate on the network through the access point.

2.8.1 Assigning An IP Address

If your network is not using a DHCP server, you will need to assign an IP address.

Figure 2.7 Configuring An IP Address

Note: Choosing the Renew button forces the 8525 G2/8530 G2 to renew or find

a new IP address. This is useful if, for example, you are out of communi-
cation range for a longer period of time and your 8525 G2/8530 G2 is
dropped from the network.
