Network; Use Dhcp - Proxim Harmony 8550 Manual

Network

The 802.11b Access Point Network Configuration screen lists the current and configured
values for the Access Point's IP information and operating mode.
The parameters listed within the 802.11b Access Point Network Configuration screen
are described below.
Note:
You must reboot the Access Point before any new network settings will take
effect.

Use DHCP

This parameter determines if the 802.11b Access Point will send out a DHCP request
during boot-up.
If you have a DHCP server on the network, set the Use DHCP option to "Yes" so that
the Access Point can receive an automatic IP address assignment.
If you do not have a DHCP server on the network but want the Access Point to use its
default 169.254.x.y address (this is also known as Auto-IP), set the Use DHCP option to
"Yes."
If you want to assign the Access Point a static IP address, set the Use DHCP option to
"No" and configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address.
Note:
The Access Point will retain a static IP address even if an AP Controller is
installed on the network. The Access Point's IP Addressing options within the
Harmony System's Web browser interface cannot override the Access Point's
static IP address. To assign the Access Point an IP address via the Harmony
System's Web browser interface, configure the Use DHCP parameter, described
above to "Yes."
Use DHCP is set to "Yes" by default.
