Advanced Configuration

v1.0, May 2006

The following list provides information about how to configure DHCP settings:

•

Use AP as DHCP Server:

Turn on this option to allow the wireless access point to function as

a DHCP Server for wireless clients. The WG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP

configurations for wireless clients connected to this wireless access point. The default setting

is disable.

If you enable the WG302v2 DHCP server, you must configure the following TCP/IP configuration

information that the wireless access point assigns to wireless clients that associate with it:

•

Starting IP Address:

Enter the starting IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can

assign wireless clients.The default starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.

•

Ending IP Address:

Enter the Ending IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can

assign wireless clients. The default ending IP address is 192.168.0.50.

•

Subnet Mask:

Enter a subnet mask for the DHCP server on the Access Point to assign

wireless clients. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

•

Gateway Address:

Enter a Gateway Address for the DHCP server on the Access Point to

assign wireless clients. The wireless clients will use this IP address as the default gateway for

any traffic beyond the local network. By default, the gateway address is the IP address of the

WG302v2.

•

Primary DNS Server:

Enter a Primary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the

Access Point to assign wireless clients. By default, the DNS server address is the IP address of

the WG302v2. The WG302v2 relays requests from wireless clients to the DNS server

configured on the

Basic Settings

page.

•

Secondary DNS Server:

Enter a Secondary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on

the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.

•

Primary WINS Server:

Enter a Primary WINS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the

Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.

•

Secondary WINS Server:

Enter a Secondary WINS Server IP address for the DHCP server

on the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.

Note:

The DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect to

the WG302v2 through Security Profiles that are on the same VLAN as

Security Profile 1. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all Security Profiles. If

you typically use an existing DHCP server on your network to assign network

information to hosts, you do not need to enable the DHCP server on the

WG302v2.
