APIPA Automatic Private IP Addressing

Definition: APIPA is a DHCP failover mechanism for local networks. With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP
addresses when DHCP servers are non-functional. APIPA exists in all modern versions of Windows. If your new
ANAN-200D Transceiver is connected directly to your PC, you will probably get an APIPA address.
If a DHCP server fails, APIPA allocates IP addresses in the private range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. When
the DHCP server is again able to service requests, clients update their addresses automatically.
In APIPA, all devices use the default network mask 255.255.0.0 and all reside on the same subnet.
APIPA is enabled on all DHCP clients in Windows unless the computer's Registry is modified to disable it. APIPA
can be enabled on individual network adapters.
Your current IP address, Netmask, Firmware revision, and MAC address are all clearly displayed on the main
SETUP –→ General –→ Hardware Config menu panel [shown below].
