Configuring Internet Settings
Internet settings define how the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch connects to your local
area network and to the Internet. This section describes how to view and configure
the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch’s Internet settings. Topics discussed include:
■ Default IP Addressing Behavior
■ Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
■ Changing the Network Connection Type
■ Renewing and Releasing DHCP
Default IP Addressing Behavior
By default, the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch is configured to automatically obtain an
IP address from a DHCP server on the network. If the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch
does not detect a DHCP server, it automatically assigns itself the static IP address
192.168.0.1 to make it easier for you to preconfigure and deploy it your network.
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
There are at least two instances when you would want to change the IP address of the
Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch:
■ If the current IP address that the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch is using consistently
conflicts with that of another device on the network
■ If you want to switch from DHCP to static IP addressing, for use in managing or
maintaining the Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch
Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the
Multimedia Wi-Fi Wall Switch, it may prove helpful for anyone needing administrative
access to assign a static IP address to Access Point.
