Installing the Access Point
Step 1: Preconfigure the Access Point
2. When the Network Connections window appears, right-click the icon for Local
Area Connection, and then click Properties.
NOTE: Make sure that you configure the Local Area Connection properties, not the
Wireless Network Connection properties.
3. When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears, select Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scrolling list, and then click Properties. The Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.
4. Write down all of the currently active network settings. You will need this informa-
tion later when you restore your computer to its current network configuration.
5. Click Use the following IP address, and then configure the IP address settings
with the values listed in Table 11
. For a sample configuration, refer to Figure 12.
You can leave the Alternate DNS server box blank.
6. Click OK to save your changes and close the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
7. Click OK again to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
Windows saves the IP address settings that you have configured.
