Figure 15 IP Settings (Bridge)

Obtain IP Address Automatically: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this

option, thus the LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP is able to obtain IP settings

automatically from that DHCP server.

Note:

When the IP address of the LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP is changed, the

clients on the network often need to wait for a while or even reboot before they can access the

new IP address. For an immediate access to the bridge, please flush the netbios cache on the

client computer by running the “nbtstat –r” command before using the device name of the

LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP to access its Web Management page.

Use Fixed IP Address: Check this option. You have to specify a static IP address, subnet mask,

default gateway and DNS server for LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP manually. Make

sure the specified IP address is unique on your network in order to prevent IP conflict.

Spanning Tree: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol for AP which

provides path redundancy while preventing loops in a network. STP allows only one active path

at a time between the access points but establish the redundant link as a backup if the initial link

fails.
