The Advanced Setup pages allow you to configure features that are not available in the 
basic setup. On the Home page, click Advanced Setup to open the Advanced Setup 
menu. 

After making selections and entering data on each page, click Apply to save the 
changes. 

The following sections describe the Advanced Setup pages. 

On the Identification page, you can identify the access point by providing a descriptive 
name. This name then appears in the device manager window. Enter a maximum of 32 
alphanumeric characters in the System Name field and click Apply.

On the TCP/IP Settings page, you can configure TCP/IP (Transmission Control 
Protocol/Internet Protocol) settings as described below. When you are finished 
configuring items on this page, click Apply. 

When DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Client is enabled, and a DHCP 
server is located on the network, the network DHCP server assigns the IP address, 
subnet mask and default gateway to the access point.

If there is no DHCP server on the network, the access point automatically uses its 
default IP address, 169.254.2.1.

When DHCP Client is disabled, you can specify the IP setup as follows:

n

IP Address and Subnet Mask—If you configure an IP address and subnet mask, 
you must configure the network settings of the computers on your wireless LAN to 
use the same subnet mask. The IP addresses specified must be valid on the same 
subnet.

n

Default Gateway—The default gateway address is optional, but may be required 
by your Internet Service Provider.

n

Primary DNS Address and Secondary DNS Address—The Domain Name 
Servers (DNS) map numerical IP addresses to the equivalent domain name (for 
example, www.3Com.com). Your internet service provider should provide the IP
