 Connect the PC to the 802.11A+G ACCESS POINT and change its configuration to a static
IP address based on your network environment. For example, if there is a DHCP server that
assigns IP addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 - 192.168.23.254 to DHCP client devices, it
can reserve 192.168.23.10 for the 802.11A+G ACCESS POINT and then the address pool
with the DHCP server becomes 192.168.23.11 – 192.168.23.254.
If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just have to make sure that
there is no machine in the environment has the same IP address as another machine.
Please note that after you change the IP address of the ACCESS POINT, the PC client may
not be able to reach the ACCESS POINT. This is because they may no longer belong to the
same IP network address space.
 Change the setting of the PC back to “obtain IP addresses dynamically”.
Now you can put the 802.11A+G ACCESS POINT and the PC to your network where the
DHCP server is connected. From then on, any wireless client configured to “obtain IP
addresses dynamically” will work with the AP, with each other, and with devices on the wired
LAN network.
Setting up a Windows PC or wireless client as DHCP clients
The following will give detailed steps of how to configure a PC or a wireless client to “obtain
IP addresses automatically”. For other types of configuration, please refer to the
corresponding user manual.
In the case of using a LAN attached PC, the PC must have an Ethernet interface installed
properly, be connected to the 802.11A+G ACCESS POINT either directly or through an
external LAN switch, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address
automatically from a DHCP server in the network.
In the case of using a wireless client, the client must also have an 802.11a/b/g wireless
interface installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the 802.11A+G ACCESS
POINT, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically
from a DHCP server in the network.
Then perform the following steps for either of the cases above. To configure types of
workstations other than Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, please consult the manufacturer’s
documentation.
