Subnet Mask – specify the access point’s subnet mask [digit and dots]. When shipped from the
factory or reset to factory settings, the AP defaults to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Gateway – specify the IP address of the access point’s gateway [digit and dots]. When shipped from
the factory or reset to factory settings, the AP defaults to a gateway IP address of 192.168.2.1.
If you change the IP address manually, make sure that the chosen IP address is
unused and belongs to the same IP subnet as your wired LAN, otherwise you will
loose the connection to the P-520r from your current PC. If you enable the DHCP
client via a Web browser, the browser will loose the connection after rebooting,
because the IP address assigned by the DHCP server is not predictable.
If Dynamic is selected the static IP settings are displayed but have no affect on the network
configuration. The dynamic IP address and gateway address as assigned by the DHCP server are
applied to the system after restart.
To find your P-520r with dynamic IP settings use a utility such as Gemtek Systems
KickStart.
Configuration | Local Area Network | Virtual LAN
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a mechanism to segregate devices or groups of devices on
the same physical LAN. P-520r allows the definition of a VLAN by a VLAN identifier. If you enable the
VLAN functionality in the menu Configuration | Local Area Network | Virtual LAN all traffic from the
wireless LAN to the LAN will be tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Incoming traffic from the wired
LAN not tagged with the appropriate VLAN ID is discarded by the AP.
Figure 24 – Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Settings
To define a VLAN membership on the access point, select the checkbox and enter the VLAN
identifier:

VLAN id – specify the ID for your VLAN network [1 to 4094]. Wireless client devices connected to the
AP are grouped into this VLAN.
Cancel – restore all previous values.
Apply – save changed configuration.
