3 Installing the Access Point Configuring the Ethernet Interface The default Ethernet interface settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks. This section describes how to change the default settings. By default, the DHCP client on the D-Link Access Point automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually configure the IP address and other network information. The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point.

To set network information for the access point by using the Web interface, click Ethernet Settings. Figure 5.
