Requirements For Entering Ip Addresses; Install And Configure The Wireless Access Point - NETGEAR WAC720 Reference Manual

ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Points WAC720 and WAC730

Requirements for Entering IP Addresses

IP addresses assigned to the access points must follow the following requirements for IPv4
and IPv6 addresses.
IPv4
The fourth octet of an IP address must be between 0 and 255 (both inclusive). This
requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on the wireless access point's web
management interface.
IPv6
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by
colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero
or altogether omitted.
The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
• More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
• More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
• More than two colons in a row

Install and Configure the Wireless Access Point

Install and configure your wireless access point in the order of the following sections:
1. Connect the Wireless Access Point to a Computer
2. Log In to the Wireless Access Point
3. Configure Basic General System Settings and Time Settings
4. Configure the IPv4 Settings
5. Configure the Basic Wireless Settings
Before installing the wireless access point, make sure that your Ethernet network functions.
After you connect the wireless access point to the Ethernet network, computers with
802.11b/g/a/n/ac wireless adapters are able to communicate with the Ethernet network.
For this to work correctly, verify that you meet all the system requirements, shown in
Hardware Description on page 7.
