8 Configuring the Access Point for Managed Mode Table 24. Managed Access Point Field Switch IP address Pass Phrase Description Enter the IP address of up to four wireless switches that can manage the AP. You can enter the IP address in dotted format or as an DNS name. You can view a list of wireless switches on your network that were configured by using a DHCP server. For more information, see "Configuring Managed Access Point Settings" on page 88. The AP attempts to contact Switch IP Address 1 first. Enter a pass phrase to allow the Access Point to authenticate itself with the Unified Switch. The pass phrase can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. You must configure the same pass phrase on the Unified Switch. NOTE: After you configure the settings on the Managed Access Point page, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. If the Unified Access Point successfully authenticates with a D-Link Unified Switch, you will loose access to the AP through the Administrator UI. Viewing Managed AP DHCP Information The Unified Access Point can learn about D-Link Unified Switches on the network through DHCP responses to its initial DHCP request. The Managed AP DHCP page displays the DNS names or IP addresses of up to four D-Link Unified Switches that the AP learned about from a DHCP server on your network. For information about how to configure a DHCP server to respond to AP DHCP requests with the Unified Switch IP address information, see the D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless Access System User Manual.
