DHCP MODE
When the WAP-5813n powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically,
the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC.
To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating
systems (OS).
Check your OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1
:
From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (

STEP 2
: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and click the
Properties button.
STEP 3:

Device Information
The web user interface is divided into two windowpanes, the main menu (at left) and
the display screen (on the right).
The main menu has several options and selecting
each of these options opens a submenu with more selections.
NOTE:
The menu items shown are based upon the configured connection(s) and
user account privileges.
For example, if NAT and Firewall are enabled,
the main menu will display the NAT and Security submenus.
If either is
disabled, their corresponding menu(s) will also be disabled.
Device Info is the first selection on the main menu so it will be discussed first.
Subsequent chapters will introduce the other main menu options in sequence.
The Device Info Summary screen will display at startup.
This screen shows hardware, software, IP settings and other related information.
