Understanding Dynamic & Static IP Addressing On The 9160 G2
Wireless Gateway
9160 G2 Wireless Gateways are designed to auto-configure, with very little setup required
for the first access point and no configuration required for additional access points subse-
quently joining a pre-configured cluster.
3.4.1
How Does The Access Point Obtain An IP Address At Startup?
When you deploy the access point, it looks for a network
obtains an
the AP will continue to use its default
a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until a DHCP server is
brought online.

Description
Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adaptor that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in
which you plan to run the access point. (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g are supported.)
Wi-Fi client adaptors vary considerably. The adaptor can be a PC card built in to the client device, a
portable PCMCIA or PCI card (types of NICs), or an external device such as a USB or Ethernet
adaptor that you connect to the client by means of a cable.
The access point supports 802.11a/b/g modes, but you will probably make a decision during net-
work design phase as to which mode to use. The fundamental requirement for clients is that they all
have configured adaptors that match the 802.11 mode for which your access point(s) is configured.
Client software such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant or Funk Odyssey wireless client configured
to associate with the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway.
Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial configuration of the access point.
If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain-text, wireless clients will
need to set a profile to the authentication mode used by the access point and provide a valid user-
name and password, certificate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP,
IEEE 802.1x,
For information on configuring security on the access point, see "Configuring Security" on page 91.
