Static IP addressing
The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP ships with a default Static IP Address of
192.168.1.1. (See the default settings for the AP in “Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP”
on page 5.) If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address
at first-time startup.
After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on Gateway
7001 Series self-managed APs and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the internal
network through the access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the
Connection Type box and related boxes in “Configuring Internal interface Ethernet
settings” on page 71.)
Recovering an IP Address
If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static
IP address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see “Resetting the
configuration” on page 166), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting
the AP to a network that has DHCP.
Important If you do not have a DHCP server on the Internal network
and do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after
adding the access point is change the Connection Type
from DHCP to Static IP. You can either assign a new Static
IP address to the AP or continue using the default address.
We recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that
if later you add another Gateway 7001 Series
self-managed AP on the same network, the IP address for
each AP will be unique.
