    Wireless client computers The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP provides wireless access to any client with a correctly configured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode in which the access point is running. Multiple client operating systems are supported. Clients can be laptops or desktops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.

    DHCP servers must be running on each network. A DHCP server is a requirement for the Guest network. When you run KickStart, it discovers the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs on the network and lists their IP addresses and MAC addresses. KickStart also provides a link to the administration Web pages of each access point using the IP address in the URL.

    5.) If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address at first-time startup. After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the internal network through the access point Administration Web pages.

  • Page 47: Understanding Clustering

    Understanding clustering A key feature of the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP is the ability to form a dynamic, configuration-aware group (called a cluster) with other Gateway access points in a network in the same subnet. Access points can participate in a peer-to-peer cluster which makes it easier for you to deploy, administer, and secure your wireless network.

  • Page 48: Which Settings Are Shared In The Cluster Configuration And Which Are Not

    Having a mix of APs on the network does not adversely affect Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP clustering in any way, however it is helpful to understand the clustering behavior for administration purposes: ■ Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs of the same model will form a cluster. The dual-band APs will form one cluster and the single-band APs will form another cluster.

  • Page 49: Cluster Mode

    Standalone mode Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs can be configured in standalone mode. In standalone mode, an access point is not a member of the cluster and does not share the cluster configuration, but rather requires manual configuration that is not shared with other access points.
