Gateway 7001 Series Manual De Usuario

www.gateway.com

Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs are built to auto-configure, with very little setup 
required for the first access point and no configuration required for additional access points 
subsequently joining a preconfigured cluster.

When you deploy the access point, it looks for a network DHCP server and, if it finds 
one, obtains an IP Address from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the 
network, the AP will continue to use its default Static IP Address (192.168.1.1) until you 
re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until a DHCP 
server is brought online.

When you run KickStart, it discovers the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs on the 
network and lists their IP addresses and MAC addresses. KickStart also provides a link to 
the administration Web pages of each access point using the IP address in the URL. (For 
more information about the KickStart utility, see 

.)

The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP generally expects that a DHCP server is running 
on the network where the AP is deployed. Most home and small business networks already 
have DHCP service provided either through a gateway device or a centralized server. 
However, if no DHCP server is present on the Internal network, the AP will use the default 
Static IP Address for first time startup.

Similarly, wireless clients and other network devices (such as printers) will receive their 
IP addresses from the DHCP server, if there is one. If no DHCP server is present on the 
network, you must manually assign static IP addresses to your wireless clients and other 
network devices.

The Guest network must have a DHCP server.

If you configure both an Internal and Guest network and 
plan to use a dynamic addressing policy for both, separate 
DHCP servers must be running on each network.

A DHCP server is a requirement for the Guest network.
