Performing Advanced Configuration
Network
The Network tab contains three sub-tabs.
IP Configuration
You can configure and view the following parameters within the IP Configuration screen:
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point in order for any changes to the Basic IP or DNS Client parameters take 
effect.
Basic IP Parameters
IP Address Assignment Type: Set this parameter to Dynamic to configure the Access Point as a Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client; the Access Point will obtain IP settings from a network DHCP server 
automatically during boot-up. If you do not have a DHCP server or if you want to manually configure the 
Access Point’s IP settings, set this parameter to Static.
IP Address: The Access Point’s IP address. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is 
read-only and reports the unit’s current IP address. The Access Point will default to 10.0.0.1 if it cannot obtain an 
address from a DHCP server.
Subnet Mask: The Access Point’s subnet mask. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is 
read-only and reports the unit’s current subnet mask. The subnet mask will default to 255.0.0.0 if the unit cannot 
obtain one from a DHCP server.
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of the Access Point’s gateway. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to 
Dynamic, this field is read-only and reports the IP address of the unit’s gateway. The gateway IP address will 
default to 10.0.0.2 if the unit cannot obtain an address from a DHCP server.
DNS Client
If you prefer to use host names to identify network servers rather than IP addresses, you can configure the AP to act 
as a Domain Name Service (DNS) client. When this feature is enabled, the Access Point contacts the network’s DNS 
server to translate a host name to the appropriate network IP address. You can use this DNS Client functionality to 
identify RADIUS servers by host name. See 
 for details.
Enable DNS Client: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable DNS client functionality. Note that this 
option must be enabled before you can configure the other DNS Client parameters.
DNS Primary Server IP Address: The IP address of the network’s primary DNS server.
DNS Secondary Server IP Address: The IP address of a second DNS server on the network. The Access Point 
will attempt to contact the secondary server if the primary server is unavailable.
DNS Client Default Domain Name: The default domain name for the Access Point’s network (for example, 
“proxim.com”). Contact your network administrator if you need assistance setting this parameter.
Advanced
Default TTL (Time to Live): Time to Live (TTL) is a field in an IP packet that specifies how long in seconds the 
packet can remain active on the network. The Access Point uses the default TTL for packets it generates for which 
the transport layer protocol does not specify a TTL value. This parameter supports a range from 0 to 65535. By 
default, TTL is 64.
