You must reboot the Access Point in order for any changes to the Basic IP or DNS Client parameters take
effect.
Basic IP Parameters
•
IP Address Assignment Type: Set this parameter to Dynamic to configure the Access Point as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client; the Access Point will obtain IP settings from a network DHCP server
automatically during boot-up. If you do not have a DHCP server or if you want to manually configure the
Access Point's IP settings, set this parameter to Static.
•
IP Address: The Access Point's IP address. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is
read-only and reports the unit's current IP address. The Access Point will default to 169.254.128.132 if it cannot
obtain an address from a DHCP server.
•
Subnet Mask: The Access Point's subnet mask. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is
read-only and reports the unit's current subnet mask. The subnet mask will default to 255.255.0.0 if the unit cannot
obtain one from a DHCP server.
•
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of the Access Point's gateway. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to
Dynamic, this field is read-only and reports the IP address of the unit's gateway. The gateway IP address will
default to 169.254.128.133 if the unit cannot obtain an address from a DHCP server.
DNS Client
If you prefer to use host names to identify network servers rather than IP addresses, you can configure the AP-600 to
act as a Domain Name Service (DNS) client. When this feature is enabled, the Access Point contacts the network's
DNS server to translate a host name to the appropriate network IP address. You can use this DNS Client functionality
to identify RADIUS servers by host name. See
•
Enable DNS Client: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable DNS client functionality. Note that this
option must be enabled before you can configure the other DNS Client parameters.
•
DNS Primary Server IP Address: The IP address of the network's primary DNS server.
•
DNS Secondary Server IP Address: The IP address of a second DNS server on the network. The Access Point
will attempt to contact the secondary server if the primary server is unavailable.
