IP
WAP-5100 is a DHCP client by default. It will automatically ask the DHCP server for IP address. If
you want to assign static IP to WAP-5100, please clear the check box in front of Obtain IP Settings
Automatically (By DHCP). Please note WAP-5100 will directly transfer SNMP response packets
(confirmation packets) to an administrative PC if it is within the same network segment (the same
subnet mask). If an SNMP response packet from a WAP-5100 is destined for an administrative PC
on another LAN, the SNMP response packet needs to be forwarded by routers. The default gateway
is the closest router to the WAP-5100. If the correct default gateway is set, you can use a WMS
manager (i.e. a PC running WMS) physically located in a different subnet to manage this WAP-5100.
