If your Access Point does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, or if you
want to change the default IP address, use IPSU to assign an IP address. You can
set the Access Point's SSID at the same time.
The computer you use to assign an IP address to the Access Point
must have an IP address of its own.
IPSU can only change the Access Point's IP address and SSID from
their default settings. After the IP address and SSID have been
changed, IPSU cannot change them again unless you press the
configuration reset button on the back panel to reset the
configuration to factory defaults.
Follow these steps to assign an IP address and an SSID to the Access Point:
Double-click the IP Setup icon on your computer desktop. (If IPSU is not
installed on your computer, follow the steps in the "Installing IPSU" section on
page 3-3 to install it.)
When the utility window opens, make sure Set Parameters is selected in the
Function box.
Type the Access Point's MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The Access
Point's MAC address is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should
contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your Access Point's MAC address might
look like the following example:
004096xxxxxx
The MAC address field is not case-sensitive.
Type the IP address you want to assign to the Access Point in the IP Address field.
Type the SSID you want to assign to the Access Point in the SSID field.
