Wireless Access Point
172 Configuring the Wireless AP
Negotiate feature is disabled, you can manually choose Half or Full
duplex for your data transmission preference.
b. MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit size. This is the largest 
packet size (in bytes) that the interface can pass along.
c. Speed: If the Auto-Negotiate feature is disabled, you must manually 
choose the data transmission speed from the pull-down list. For the 
Gigabit interfaces the options are 10 Megabit or 100 Megabit. (Note 
that 1000 Megabit speed can only be set by Auto-Negotiation.) 
5. Configuration Server Protocol / IP Settings: Choose DHCP to instruct 
the AP to use DHCP when assigning IP addresses to the AP, or choose 
Static IP if you intend to enter IP addresses manually. If you select the 
Static IP option you must specify the IP address, IP subnet mask and 
default gateway.
a. Address: If you selected the Static IP option, enter a valid IP address 
for the AP. To use any of the remote connections (Web, SNMP, or 
SSH), a valid IP address must be established.
b. Subnet Mask: If you selected the Static IP option, enter a valid IP 
address for the subnet mask (the default for Class C is 255.255.255.0). 
The subnet mask defines the number of IP addresses that are 
available on the routed subnet where the AP is located.
c. Default Gateway: If you selected the Static IP option, enter a valid IP 
address for the default gateway. This is the IP address of the router 
that the AP uses to send data to other networks. (You don’t need to 
enter the gateway if it is on the same subnet as the AP.) 
d. Click the Apply button for this interface when done making IP 
changes.
6. When done configuring all interfaces as desired, click the Save  button 
 if you wish to make your changes permanent.
