AP 7181 Access Point: Installation Guide
3. Optionally enter the IP address of the server used to provide system time to the
access point in the Time Server field.
NOTE
Once the IP address is entered, the access point's Network Time Protocol (NTP)
functionality is engaged automatically. Refer to the AP 7181 Product Reference
Guide for information on defining alternate time servers and setting a
synchronization interval for the access point to adjust its displayed time and more
detailed information on setting alternate time servers and setting a synchronization
interval for the access point to adjust its displayed time.
4. Enable the radio(s) using the
field. If using a single radio access point, enable the radio then select either 2.4
GHz or 5.x GHz from the
IP Settings
The LAN 1 interface on the AP 7181 supports several different functions. The IP address
assigned to the LAN (by DHCP or via a static address) is the management IP address for
the access point. By default, the LAN 1 interface is tied to physical port GE1 and is
configured for DHCP.
Mesh Point Root nodes are gateway nodes. AP 7181 nodes that are configured as Mesh
Point Roots will utilize the LAN 1 interface (GE1) to connect to the core network.
Nodes that are Non Root Mesh Points also utilize LAN 1 since the IP address of LAN 1 is
the management IP address of the access point. LAN 1 is set to DHCP by default and Non
Root Nodes will receive their IP address over the mesh network. Non Root nodes can also
use GE1 to connect to external devices such as a surveillance camera.
DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address. The user is
required to enter a numerical IP address.
