LAN Settings
The LAN Settings menu provides the following options:
The LAN Settings screen is used to determine how the LAN IP address of
your Access Point is obtained. It can be obtained automatically (dynamic
IP) or you can manually configure the IP address (static IP).
3Com recommends that you manually assign your Access Point a static IP
address.
Figure 15 Unit Configuration Screen
Dynamic IP Address
Select Dynamic IP Address (automatically allocated) and the screen shown
in
Figure 15
is displayed. Check all your settings and click Apply.
If the Access Point is set to obtain an IP address automatically and is
unable to contact a DHCP server then it will allocate itself an address in
the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.
