ProSAFE Wireless Controller Change IP Address and VLAN Settings on a Controller-Managed Access Point By default, a controller-managed access point functions as a DHCP client. The only reason to manually change the IP address settings on a controller-managed access point is that you must assign a static IP address to the access point. Make sure that the new IP address is in the same Layer 2 or Layer 3 network as the wireless controller, otherwise the wireless controller cannot reach the access point after you change the IP address. If you configure a static IP address for the access point, you must also specify the IP address of the wireless controller. You can also change the VLAN settings. However, if you change the VLAN, make sure that you configure the correct management VLAN ID and state whether it is tagged or untagged, otherwise the wireless controller cannot reach the access point after you change the VLAN settings. To change the IP address settings or VLAN settings on a controller-managed access point: 1. Find the IP address of the access point on your network. For more information, see Manage the Managed AP List on page 167. 2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point. A login window displays. 3. Enter the user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The Network Settings page displays.
