Chapter 3 - SpaceLink Access Point Manager
IP Config
The SpaceLink Access Point
Manager has many smart features
including:
•
The SpaceLink Access Point can
receive a dynamic IP address from
a network DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server.
•
The SpaceLink Access Point can
be assigned a static IP address via
the SpaceLink Access Point
Manager.
•
The SpaceLink Access Point Manager will automatically add or modify
the subnet mask according to the IP address class A, B, or C when the
user changes the IP address of the SpaceLink Access Point.
•
The SpaceLink Access Point Manager will ping the IP address before
applying the user-defined IP address to the SpaceLink Access Point.
•
The SpaceLink Access Point Manager will warn when changing to a
different subnet IP address (not supported in NT4).
Note: Normally, the SpaceLink Access Point needs about 3 sec-
onds to bootup when there is a successful IP address. If you select
"Obtain an IP address automatically" and there is no DHCP server
on the network, the bootup time of the SpaceLink Access Point will
be 25 seconds. After this timeout period, the SpaceLink Access
Point will use the last successful IP address. The SpaceLink Ac-
cess Point Manager will not be able to connect to the SpaceLink
Access Point until this lengthy bootup is completed.
Obtain an IP address automatically
This parameter determines if the SpaceLink Access Point will send out a
DHCP request during bootup. If you have a DHCP server on the network,
set this option so that the SpaceLink Access Point can receive an automatic
IP address assignment. Choose the request method either through the
physically connected "Ethernet" cable or "Wireless".
