The IP Config tab allows you to adjust IP configuration settings.
• Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain a leased IP address
and network configuration information from a remote server. DHCP is the default
setting, and when selected, IP address fields are read only.
• Select Static to manually enter the following fields:
• IP Address: A 32-bit (max) value expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to
255, separated by periods (e.g., 157.235.90.24) that the Domain server uses to
transmit and receive data. The IP address of the adapter is required to be in the
same subnet as that of the access point for the devices to interoperate in
Infrastructure mode.
• Subnet Mask: A 32-bit value expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255,
separated by periods (e.g., 255.255.0.0) which allows TCP/IP to determine the
network ID portion of an IP address. Required in order for the subnet to exist.
Its purpose is to mask out IP addresses that are not part of the subnet. The
network administrator usually has the required subnet mask.
