Notice on connecting the Access Point to a Local Area Network (LAN)
You must select LAN or Cable Modem connection mode using one of the Access Point Setup Utilities before
connecting the Access Point to a network that has a DHCP server.
Always consult your network administrator before connecting the Access Point to your LAN.
❑
Caution:
If an Access Point with Local Only connection mode is connected to a LAN that is using a DHCP server,
the following problems may occur:
❑
A client computer within the LAN may not be able to obtain an IP address
❑
You may not be able to access the network
✍
When Local Only mode is selected, the Access Point gives a private IP address (10.0.1.2 - 17, by default) to your computer, which is connected to the
same Ethernet network.
Releasing and obtaining an IP address
To release and obtain an IP address when using Windows
Edition, proceed as follows:
1 Remove the Access Point from a LAN.
2 From the Start menu, select Run and enter winipcfg.
3 Click OK.
