RECOMMENDATION:
Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily
associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data
that you store about the module.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask
Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the AP to communicate on the network. The default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. See Allocating Subnets on Page 123.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address
Enter the appropriate gateway for the AP to communicate with the network. The default
gateway is 169.254.0.0.
LAN2 Network Interface Configuration (RF Private Interface), IP Address
You should not change this parameter from the default AP private IP address of
192.168.101.1. A flat Class C subnet is used to communicate with each of the SMs that
are registered. The AP uses a combination of the private IP and the LUID (logical unit ID)
of the SM.
For example, if an SM is the first to register in an AP, and another SM registers later,
then the AP whose Private IP address is 192.168.101.1 uses the following SM Private IP
addresses to communicate to each:
SM LUID Private IP
First SM registered 2 192.168.101.2
Second SM registered 3 192.168.101.3
If the private IP address of the AP is changed, then the new address must
◦ designate a Class C subnet that is not used for anything else.
◦ have the form xxx.xxx.xxx.1, where 1 is the value of the last octet of the address.

NOTE:
Where space is limited for subnet allocation, be advised that an SM
need not have an operator-assigned IP address. The SM is directly
accessible without an LUID if either the SM Color Code parameter is set
to 0 or the AP has a direct Ethernet connection to the SM.
The IP Configuration page also provides the following buttons.
