With the LAN mode, the Access Point is the DHCP client w ith regard to the ISDN Router. After disconnecting from the ISDN Router (DHCP server),
computers installed w ith the Wireless LAN PC Card try to read the IP address again w hen the IP address lease time has ended. This is because the ISDN
Router (DHCP server) cannot be found and it falls into a state in w hich it cannot acquire the IP address.
Either reset using the Custom Access Point Setup Utility or return the Access Point to the ex-factory status using the
Reset mode . Then, use the Access
Point Setup Utility to make the settings for the customer's Access Point. You can also use the Softw are Reset mode to set the IP address to an
appropriate setting.
