2. Type show to display the access point’s default IP configuration, including
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The following illustration
shows the default settings.
3. To manually assign an IP address, first type no ip dhcp to disable DHCP
client mode. Then type ip address ip-address netmask gateway, where
ip-address is the access point’s IP address, netmask is the network mask
for the network, and gateway is the default gateway router. Check with
your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible with
your network.
To Set the Access Point’s Country Code
If you are using the ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 NA (J8130B) model
sold in the United States, radio channels 1 - 11 are the only options supported
under FCC regulations, and cannot be changed. However, if you are using
ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 WW (J8131B) model sold in other coun-
tries, then you need to set the country code to indicate the channels permitted
for your area. The country code can only be set using the CLI.
Note Setting the Country Code requires a system reboot.
1. First type country ? to display the list of countries.
2. Select the code for your country, and enter the country command again,
followed by your country code (for example, GB for Great Britain).
3. Type y to reboot the access point and make the setting effective.
