address of the default gateway router in the text field provided. Otherwise, leave
the address as (192.168.1.254).
• DNS IP Address – The IP address of a Domain Name Server on the network. A
DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify
network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses.
If you have a DNS server located on the local network, type the IP address in the
text field provided. Otherwise, leave the address as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
DHCP Server/NAT
The access point includes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
that can assign temporary IP addresses to wireless clients requesting the service.
Addresses are assigned to clients from a common address pool configured on the
access point. Configure an address pool by specifying start and end IP addresses.
Be sure not to include the access point's IP address in the address pool range.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple
"internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address on devices at the edge of a
network. For the access point, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses
assigned to wireless clients by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the
IP address assigned to the Ethernet port. When enabled, the access point's wireless
interface uses the NAT IP settings to access the Ethernet network.
Note: When the DHCP server is enabled, NAT is also enabled.
The displayed items on this page can be described as follows:
• DHCP Server/NAT Setting – Enables or disables the DHCP server and NAT on
the access point. (Default: Enabled)
