Notice on connecting the Access Point to a Local Area Network (LAN)

You must select ISDN Router/LAN or Cable Modem/xDSL connection mode using one of the Access Point Setup Utilities before connecting the Access Point to a network that has a DHCP server. Always consult with your network administrator before connecting the Access Point to your LAN.

Caution:

If an Access Point with either Phone Connection or Local Only connection mode selected is connected to a LAN that is using a DHCP server, the following problems may occur:

• A client computer within the LAN may not be able to obtain an IP address

• You may not be able to access the network

Note:

When either Phone Connection or Local Only mode is selected, the Access Point gives a private IP address (10.0.1.2 - 17, by default) to your computer which is connected to the same Ethernet network.

Releasing and obtaining an IP address

Remove the Access Point from a LAN, and follow the steps below depending on the operating system.
