Setting up Auto
Network Connect
Auto Network Connect ensures network association even when traversing
subnets. The client automatically associates with the nearest access point that has
compatible encryption settings and automatically obtains a valid IP address.
This option requires a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. The client’s
network configuration must be set to obtain its IP address automatically. For more
information on DHCP, see the documentation for your operating system.
