j. Specify the Password entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session
starts, the ISP authenticates the password.
For additional access point WAN port configuration options, see Configuring WAN Settings
on page 5-16.
6. Select the LAN#1 tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the LAN#1 interface.
a. Select the Enable LAN Interface checkbox to forward data traffic over the access
point’s LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.
b. Use the This Interface drop-down menu to specify how network address information
is defined over the LAN connection. Select DHCP Client if the larger corporate network
uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and
delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some
of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select DHCP Server
to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection. Select the Bootp
client option to enable a diskless system to discover its own IP address.
.
c. Enter the network-assigned IP Address of the access point.
d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify
the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network.
These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data
transmission.
e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a Default Gateway to define the
numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet as its default
gateway.
f. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the Primary DNS Server numerical IP
address.
g. If using the DHCP Server option, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to
specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually
(static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could
NOTE Motorola Solutions recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not
both be configured as DHCP clients.
NOTE DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address for the access point.
The user is required to enter a numerical IP address.
