6. IfyoudonothaveaDHCPserveronthemanagementnetworkanddonotplantouseone,youmustchange
theConnectionTypefromDHCPtoStaticIP.
You
caneitherassignanewStaticIPaddresstotheAPorcontinueusingthedefaultaddress.We
recommendassigninganewStaticIPaddresssothatifyoubringupanotherUAPonthesamenetwork,
theIPaddressforeachAPwillbeunique.Tochang e theconnectiontype
andassignastaticIPaddress,see
“ConfiguringtheEthernetSettings”onpage25(CLI)or“EthernetSettings”onpage51(Web).
7. IfyournetworkusesVLANs,youmightneedtoconfigurethemanagementVLANIDoruntaggedVLANID
ontheUAPinorderforittoworkwith
yournetwork.
ForinformationabouthowtoconfigureVLANinformation,see“ConfiguringtheEthernetSettings”on
page25(CLI)or“EthernetSettings”onpage51(Web).
8. IfyournetworkusesIEEE802.1Xportsecurityfornetworkaccesscontrol,youmustconfigurethe802.1X
supplicantinformationontheAP.
Forinformationabout
howtoconfigurethe802.1Xusernameandpassword,see“ConfiguringIEEE802.1X
Authentication”onpage27.
BasicSettings
FromtheBasicSettingspage,youcanviewvariousinformationabouttheUAP,includingIPandMACaddress
information,andconfiguretheadministratorpasswordfortheUAP.Table4describesthefieldsand
configurationoptionsontheBasicSettingspage.
Note:ThechangesyoumakearenotsavedorapplieduntilyouclickApply.Changingsomeaccess
pointsettingsmightcausetheAPtostopandrestartsystemprocesses.Ifthishappens,wireless
clientswilltemporarilyloseconnectivity.Werecommendthatyouchangeaccesspointsettings
whenWLANtrafficis
low.

Field Description
IPAddress ShowstheIPaddressassignedtotheAP.Thisfieldisnoteditableonthispagebecause
theIPaddress is alreadyassigned(eitherbyDHCP,orstaticallythroughtheEthernet
Settingspage).
IPv6Address ShowstheIPv6addressassignedtotheAP.Thisfieldisnoteditableonthis
