Nokia A032 Addendum

When the DHCP client is enabled, the AP will 
first boot up into a limited operation mode, 
connected to LAN only, and begin the DHCP 
negotiation. During this phase, the AP will 
signal no radio operation on the LEDs. Only 
when a DHCP offer is received (and accepted), 
or the process is abandoned (no response is 
received from a server after three retries) will 
the AP complete booting and run management 
and radio interfaces. If a dynamic lease expires, 
the AP will return to this limited operational 
mode (by rebooting). Note that all radio clients 
will be forcibly disconnected.

The AP will always perform a full DHCP 
initialization (that is, it begins with a 
DISCOVER frame), even if it has a configured IP 
address. Neither an init-reboot or 
DHCPINFORM process are ever used. If the AP 
does have a configured management IP 
address, it will request assignment of it via the 
DHCP procedure, but make use of whatever IP 
address it is given. This process can be tracked 
using the DHCP status screen on the web 
interface.

Depending on the success of DHCP negotiation, 
one of the following will occur:

•

No DHCP server found – AP will operate as 
far as possible using its stored 
configuration, including making use its 
management IP address if configured with 
one. If no IP address was configured for the 
AP, then this will limit its functionality 
accordingly.
