network's method of IP address assignment. The Configuration Server link takes

Type an IP address in the Default IP address field. If DHCP is not enabled for your
Step 6
network, the IP address you enter in this field will be the Access Point's static IP

provides the IP address only when no server responds with an IP address for the
Access Point.
Enter an IP subnet mask in the Default IP Subnet Mask field to identify the
Step 7
subnetwork so the the Access Point's IP address can be recognized on the LAN.
If DHCP or BOOTP is not enabled, this field is the subnet mask. If DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, this field provides the subnet mask only when no server
responds to the Access Point's DHCP or BOOTP request.
Step 8 Enter the IP address of your default internet gateway in the Default Gateway field.
The entry 255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway. Clicking the Gateway link takes

None—Your network does not have an automatic system for IP address
assignment.
BOOTP—With Bootstrap Protocol, IP addresses are hard-coded based on
MAC addresses.
DHCP—With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, IP addresses are
"leased" for predetermined periods of time.
