Professional Access Point

The Guest network must have a DHCP server.

Static IP Addressing

The Professional Access Point ships with a default

Static IP Address

of 192.168.1.10. (See “Default

Settings for the Professional Access Point” on page 16.) If no

DHCP

server is found on the network, the

access point retains this static IP address at first-time startup.

After access point startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on Professional
Access Points and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the Internal network via the access point Web
User Interface. (See information about the

Connection Type

field and related fields in “Configuring Internal

Interface Ethernet Settings” on page 93.)

Recovering an IP Address

If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a

Static IP Address

by

resetting the access point configuration to the factory defaults (see “Reset Configuration” on page 171), or
you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting the access point to a network that has

DHCP

.

Ca
ution

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 access point or continue using the
default address. USRobotics recommends assigning a new Static IP address so that if later you
bring up another Professional Access Point on the same network, the IP address for each access
point will be unique.
