RecoveringanIPAddress
Ifyouexperiencetroublecommunicatingwiththeaccesspoint,youcanrecovera staticIPaddressby resetting
theAPconfigurationtothefactorydefaults(see“ResettingtheFactoryDefaultConfiguration”onpage120),
oryoucangetadynamicallyassignedaddressbyconnectingtheAPtoanetworkthat
hasaDHCPserver.
DiscoveringaDynamicallyAssignedIPAddress
IfyouhaveaccesstotheDHCPserveronyournetworkandknowtheMACaddressofyourAP,youcanview
thenewIPaddressassociatedwiththeMACaddressoftheAP.
IfyoudonothaveaccesstotheDHCPserverthatassignedtheIPaddresstothe
APordonotknowtheMAC
addressoftheAP,youmightneedtousetheCLItofindoutwhatthenewIPaddressis.Forinformationabout
howtodiscoveradynamicallyassignedIPaddress,see“UsingtheCLItoViewtheIPAddress”onpage24.
