AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
3-10
c. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the network-assigned IP Address of the
AP-5131.
d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify
the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network.
These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data
transmission.
e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a Default Gateway to define the
numerical IP address of a router the AP-5131 uses on the Ethernet as its default gateway.
f. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the Primary DNS Server numerical IP
address.
g. If using the DHCP Server option, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to
specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually
(static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could
still be assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all statically mapped IP
addresses are outside of the IP address range assigned to the DHCP server.
For additional AP-5131 LAN port configuration options, see Configuring the LAN Interface
on page 5-1.
8. Enable the radio(s) using the Enable checkbox(es) within the Radio Configuration field. If
using a single radio AP-5131, enable the radio, then select either 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz from
the RF Band of Operation field. Only one RF band option at a time is permissible in a
single-radio AP-5131. If using a dual-radio AP-5131, the user can enable both RF bands. For
additional AP-5131 radio configuration options, see Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g
Radio on page 5-48.
9. Select the WLAN #1 tab (WLANs 1 - 4 are available within the Quick Setup screen) to define
its ESSID and security scheme for basic operation.
NOTE DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address for the AP-5131. The
user is required to enter a numerical IP address.
NOTE A maximum of 16 WLANs are configurable within the AP-5131 Wireless
Configuration screen. The limitation of 16 WLANs exists regardless of
whether the AP-5131 is a single or dual-radio model.
