User's Guide for the ME103 802.11b ProSafe Wireless Access Point
• The IP Address Source
The wireless access point is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN
side, and to act as a DHCP client. If the wireless access point does not find a DHCP server on
the Ethernet LAN, it defaults to this IP configuration:
– LAN IP Address — 192.168.0.224
– Subnet Mask— 255.255.255.0
– Gateway — 0.0.0.0
– Primary DNS — 0.0.0.0
– Secondary DNS — 0.0.0.0
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private addresses for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a
different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
The IP Address Source parameters are:
– IP Address:
Only required if DHCP Client is set to Disable.
This is the LAN IP address of the wireless access point.
– IP Subnet Mask:
Only required if DHCP Client is set to Disable.
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the wireless access point. Combined with the IP address,
the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
which must be reached through a gateway or router.
– Gateway IP Address:
Only required if DHCP Client is set to Disable.
The wireless access point's IP gateway address.
– Primary DNS Server:
Only required if DHCP Client is set to Disable.
The wireless access point's primary DNS server address.
– Secondary DNS Server:
Only required if DHCP Client is set to Disable.
The wireless access point's secondary DNS server address.
