LAN Menu
LAN Settings
This menu area enables you to change the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway values. If
you are not sure about these settings, please contact your network administrator.
IP Address
The IP values are set in the upper part of the screen and are:-
• IP Address: The IP address of the access point. You should have a unique IP address
assigned for the access point from your network. The default IP Address is 192.168.1.1.
• Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask of the access point. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
• Gateway: The Gateway is the address of a router that the access point needs to use if IP
addresses outside its subnet are encountered.
When the required IP values have been entered, click the Apply button.
Figure 15 - DHCP Server Enable/Disable
DHCP Settings
Although the default setting for the access point is for the DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol)
server mode to be enabled, this mode is probably not desirable for certain corporate networks
where a DHCP server may already exist. This DHCP enabled mode is intended for small offices
and wireless hot-spots, but for corporate usage where there may be an IP address plan, then the
DHCP server mode should be disabled.
To disable the DHCP server mode, click the radio button to clear the tick. The menu refreshes and
no longer displays the detailed settings of the DHCP server. To save the settings, click the Apply
button at the bottom of the menu.
Other DHCP controls are:-
• IP Pool Starting Address & Ending Address: The first and the last address in the IP
address pool that can be assigned by the DHCP server. By default a pool of 100 addresses
are available.
• Lease Time: The period the client can have the IP address assigned by DHCP server
(default = 30 mins). After this time, the IP lease is renewed.
• Local Domain Name: Optional value.
The access point can display the list of allocated IP addresses using the LAN Settings > DHCP
Client List menu option. See page 20 for details.
