D-Link DWL-1000AP [16/24] Manually programming ip addresses

Searching for Access Points

Figure 4: Network Settings panel and icons

APManager(tm) has an easy-to-use Access Point discovery function that simplifies the

administration of the Access Points in your network. You normally apply the Search

function in one of the following situations:

• New Access Points have been added to the network

• The IP address of one or more Access Points is no longer valid or known,

possibly because the DHCP or BOOTP server has assigned it a different IP

address. You may be informed of this fact because the Access Points will be

reported off-line by APManager(tm).

Invoke the Search function by selecting the menu “command Edit/Search Access Points”,

or pressing the associated toolbar button. While APManager(tm) is scanning the network,

you may continue work on the document. If necessary you can abort a scan by clicking

on the Abort Search button.

A progress indicator, shown in Figure 5, will be shown in the status bar.

Manually Programming IP Addresses

The preferred method of providing IP addresses for your Access Points is applying a

DHCP or BOOTP server in your network. If you do, the Access Points will acquire an IP

address automatically from this server.
