Step 9 Press ad and then press Enter to select IP Address. Enter an IP address for the bridge. If DHCP is not

Press Enter when you have completed your entry.
Press su and then press Enter to select IP Subnet Mask. Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the
Step 10
subnetwork so the bridge's IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is not enabled, the subnet

no DHCP server responds to the bridge's DHCP request. Press Enter when you have completed your
entry.

gateway. The entry 255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway. Press Enter when you have completed your

Press ra and then press Enter to select Radio Service Set ID (SSID). Enter an SSID for the bridge. The
Step 12
