1. Default IP Address Assignment mode is dynamic (DHCP). If you 

do not have a DHCP server on your network, the default IP 
Address is 10.0.0.1. If you have more than one unintialized AP 
connected to the network, they will all have the same default IP 
address and you will not be able to communicate with them (due to 
an IP address conflict). In this case, assign each AP a static IP 
address via the serial cable or turn off all units but one and change 
the IP address using ScanTool one at a time.

2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your 

network’s DHCP server is not available while the AP is booting, the 
device will retain the last IP Address it had. Reboot the AP once 
your DHCP server is on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the 
Access Point’s current IP address.

3. To find the unit’s current IP address if using DHCP, open the IP 

Client Table in the DHCP Server and match the Access Point’s IP 
address to its MAC address (found on the product label). 
Alternatively, use ScanTool to identify an Access Point’s current IP 
address.

4. Once you have the current IP address, use the HTTP or CLI 

Interface to change the unit’s IP settings, if necessary.

5. If you use static IP Address assignments, and cannot access the 

unit over Ethernet, use the 

procedure. Once the IP Address is set, you can use the Ethernet 
Interface to complete configuration.
