Chapter 1 Getting Started The AP/Bridge by default runs "Auto" mode. In this mode, it will detect if it has a wired connection to a router (with DHCP server). If it does, it will automatically set itself to "Access Point" (the user interface will show the AP banner). This will take about 30 -60 seconds. If no DHCP is detected through a wired connection, it will set itself to "Bridge" (Station) mode and the user interface will show the Bridge banner. This will take about 60 -90 seconds. In Auto mode, if no DHCP server is detected, it runs in Bridge mode. If the DHCP server is detected later, and this bridge is not connect to any Access Point (AP), it will automatically switch to Access Point mode. By default the units run in DHCP client mode, which means the AP and Bridge (if connected to the AP) will both get DHCP IP addresses from the router. The user must log in to the router's configuration GUI, find the DHCP IP addesses for both the AP and STA devices, and then connect to their GUIs by browsing to their IP addresses.

Getting Started
The AP/Bridge by default runs "Auto" mode. In this mode, it will detect if it has a wired
connection to a router (with DHCP server). If it does, it will automatically set itself to "Access
Point" (the user interface will show the AP banner). This will take about 30 –60 seconds. If no
DHCP is detected through a wired connection, it will set itself to "Bridge" (Station) mode and the
user interface will show the Bridge banner. This will take about 60 –90 seconds.
In Auto mode, if no DHCP server is detected, it runs in Bridge mode. If the DHCP server is
detected later, and this bridge is not connect to any Access Point (AP), it will automatically switch
to Access Point mode.
By default the units run in DHCP client mode, which means the AP and Bridge (if connected to the
AP) will both get DHCP IP addresses from the router.
The user must log in to the router’s configuration GUI, find the DHCP IP addesses for both the AP
and STA devices, and then connect to their GUIs by browsing to their IP addresses.
