Dynamic IP Address:
Select this option if you would like to have an IP Address
automatically assigned to the DWL- by a DHCP server in your network.
IP Address
If you need to assign Static IP Addresses to the devices in your network, please
remember that the IP Address for each computer or device must be in the same IP
Address range as all the devices in the network. Each device must also have the
same Subnet Mask.
For example: Assign the first computer an IP Address of
192.168.0.2 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, the second device an IP Ad-
dress of 192.168.0.3 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and so on. Devices that
are assigned the same IP Address may not be visible on the network.
DHCP
stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assign-
ing dynamic IP addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP Server there is no need to
manually assign an IP address.
Static IP Address:
Select this option if you are manually assigning an IP Address.
IP Address:
192.168.0.50 is the default IP Address of the Access Point. If you are
using several DWL-’s in your network (for Load Balancing or Backup), you
will need to assign a different Static IP Address to each Access Point.
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0 is the default Subnet Mask. All devices on the
network must have the same subnet mask to communicate on the network
Gateway:
Enter the IP Address of the gateway in your network
