The access point will now boot and try to receive an IP address via DHCP (either from the
Sophos firewall/UTM or another DHCP server in your network).
After successfully receiving an IP address, the access point attempts to communicate
with either the Sophos firewall/UTM or Sophos Central. In order to do so, the firewall
needs to either be the default gateway of the access points or be on the default route
(most likely your route to the internet).
Whilst waiting for DHCP and searching for the wireless controller, the access point status
LED will show its current state (please see the following table).
