24 AP-7522 Access Point
Points (NTP clients) periodically synchronize their clock with a master clock (an
NTP server). For example, an Access Point resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon
reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server.
9. Select Apply to implement the updates.
10. Expand the Configuration menu item and select WAN.
11. Refer to the WAN Settings field and set the following:
• Enable - Select this option to allow a connection between the Access Point and a
larger network or outside world through the WAN port. Disable this option to
isolate the WAN connection. No connections to a larger network or Internet are
possible. Clients cannot communicate beyond configured subnets. Both the
physical Port used to connect to the WAN and the virtual Interface (VLAN) are
also listed and fixed.
• DHCP Client - Select this option to enable DHCP for the Access Point WAN
connection. This is useful, if the target network or Internet Service Provider (ISP)
uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP
server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and
gateway. The WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured as DHCP
clients.
• Static IP - Select this option to bypass DHCP address allocation resources and
manually set the IP address for the Access Point’s WAN connection. Manually
provide the Access Point’s Static IP/Mask and Default Gateway.
