Accessing the Wizard 27
This screen determines how the Access Point obtains its IP address. There
are three options.
Obtain IP Address automatically - The Access Point will obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server already operating on your network.
Specify an IP address manually - Select this option to manually
configure the IP address of the Access Point. The screen shown in
Figure 14 is displayed. This screen displays a suggested LAN IP address
and subnet mask of the Access Point. It also allows you to change the IP
address and subnet mask.
3Com recommends that you manually assign your Access Point a static IP
address.
