Address window appears.
STEP 2 Click Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) if you want the WAP device to receive an IP

manually. For a description of these fields, see VLAN and IPv4 Address Settings.
STEP 3 Click Next. The Single Point Setup — Set a Cluster window appears. For a
description of Single Point Setup, see Single Point Setup.
STEP 4 To create a new Single Point Setup of WAP devices, select Create a New Cluster
and specify a New Cluster Name. When you configure your devices with the
same cluster name and enable Single Point Setup mode on other WAP devices,
they automatically join the group.
