TCP/IP settings

TCP/IP configuration can be performed in two different ways: Either fully auto-
matically or manually. No user input is required if TCP/IP configuration is per-
formed automatically. All parameters are set by the Setup Wizard on its own.
When manual TCP/IP configuration is performed the wizard prompts for the
usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, network mask etc. (more on this later)
The fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network
environments. For this reason the Setup Wwizard analyses the connected LAN
to see whether fully automatic configuration is possible or not.
New LAN – fully automatic configuration possible
The setup wizard offers to configure TCP/IP fully automatically if no network
devices connected have yet been configured. This usually happens in the fol-
lowing situations:
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration will not be offered if you are integrating
the Access Point into an existing TCP/IP LAN. In this case please continue with
the section 'Required information for manual TCP/IP configuration'.
The result of fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is as follows: The Access
Point is assigned the IP address '172.23.56.254' (network mask
'255.255.255.0'). The integrated DHCP server is also activated so that the
Access Point can assign the devices in the LAN IP addresses automatically.
Should you still configure manually?
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is optional. Instead of this you can select
manual configuration. Make this selection after considering the following:

Only a single PC is going to be attached to the Access Point
Setting up a new network
Select automatic configuration if you are not familiar with networks and
IP addresses.
Select manual TCP/IP configuration if you are familiar with networks and
IP addresses and one of the following statements is true:
You have not yet used any IP addresses in your network but would like
to now; You would like to specify the IP address for the router yourself
