Prelaunch Checklist Understanding Dynamic and Static IP Addressing Static IP Addressing The D-Link DWL-2210AP ships with a default Static IP Address of 192.168.0.50. (See "Default Settings for the D-Link DWL-2210AP" in this manual.) If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address at first-time startup. After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on D-Link DWL-2210APs and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the Internal network via the access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the Connection Type field and related fields in "Configuring Internal Interface Ethernet Settings.") If you do not have a DHCP server on the Internal network and do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after bringing up the access point is change the connection type from DHCP to static IP.You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if later you bring up another D-Link DWL-2210AP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique. Configuring the IP address of the DWL-2210AP in a network with no DHCP server If you do not have a DHCP server in your network, you will not use the Kickstart utility to configure the DWL-2210AP. To configure the DWL-2210AP, you will need to first change the IP address of the computer to be within the IP address range of the DWL-2210AP. That range is 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, excluding 192.168.0.50 (the IP address of the DWL-2210AP).You will then open the Web browser and type "192.168.0.50" into the address field. The login screen will appear. Enter "admin" for Admin and Password. The Web configuration screen will appear. You can change the static IP address of the DWL-2210AP so that it is within the range of your network. If you do this, you must also revert your computer's IP address to its previous setting within your network's range. Recovering an IP Address If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static IP address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see "Resetting the Configuration" in this manual), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has DHCP. 18

Understanding Dynamic and Static IP Addressing
If you do not have a
DHCP
server on the Internal network and do not plan to use one,
the first thing you must do after bringing up the access point is change the connection
type from DHCP to static IP. You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or
continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address
so that if later you bring up another D-Link DWL-2210AP on the same network, the
IP address for each AP will be unique.
Configuring the IP address of the DWL-2210AP in a network with no
DHCP server
If you do not have a DHCP server in your network, you will not use the Kickstart utility to
configure the DWL-2210AP. To configure the DWL-2210AP, you will need to first change
the IP address of the computer to be within the IP address range of the DWL-2210AP.
That range is 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, excluding 192.168.0.50 (the IP address of
the DWL-2210AP). You will then open the Web browser and type “192.168.0.50” into the
address field. The login screen will appear. Enter “admin” for Admin and Password. The
Web configuration screen will appear. You can change the static IP address of the
DWL-2210AP so that it is within the range of your network. If you do this, you must also
revert your computer’s IP address to its previous setting within your network’s range.
Static IP Addressing
The D-Link DWL-2210AP ships with a default
Static IP Address
of 192.168.0.50. (See
“Default Settings for the D-Link DWL-2210AP” in this manual.) If no
DHCP
server is
found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address at first-time startup.
After AP startup, you have the option of specifying a static IP addressing policy on
D-Link DWL-2210APs and assigning static IP addresses to APs on the Internal network
via the access point Administration Web pages. (See information about the
Connection
Type
field and related fields in “Configuring Internal Interface Ethernet Settings.”)
Prelaunch Checklist
Recovering an IP Address
If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a
static
IP address
by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see “Resetting
the Configuration” in this manual), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by
connecting the AP to a network that has
DHCP
.
