Default IP Address
Use this setting to assign or change the access point’s IP address. If DHCP or
BOOTP is not enabled for your network, the IP address you enter in this field is
the access point’s IP address. If DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, this field provides
the IP address only if no server responds with an IP address for the access point.
Default IP Subnet Mask
Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the subnetwork so the IP address can be
recognized on the LAN. If DHCP or BOOTP is not enabled, this field is the subnet
mask. If DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, this field provides the subnet mask only if
no server responds to the access point’s DHCP or BOOTP request.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of your default internet gateway here. The entry
255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway. Clicking the Gateway link takes you to the
Routing Setup page, which contains detailed settings for configuring the access
point to communicate with the IP network routing system.
Click Gateway to access the Routing Setup page where you can configure a new
default gateway network route. You can also remove an old routing configuration.
Radio Service Set ID (SSID)
An SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access
point or a VLAN supported by the access point. The SSID helps client devices
distinguish between multiple wireless networks and VLANs in the same vicinity
and provides access to VLANs by wireless client devices. Several access points
on a network or sub-network can share an SSID. You can configure up to 16 SSIDs
on an access point. An SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from
2 to 32 characters long.
Click more to go to the AP Radio Service Sets page where you can create
additional SSIDs. From this page you can also edit an existing SSID or remove
one from the system.
