When DHCP is enabled on the Access Point, the new IP address will be needed
in order to access the XenSmart™ web management interface. The Router web
interface can be used to look up the IP address assigned to the Access Point. To
Enable DHCP, click on the drop down menu and select Enable. Select Apply and
then Reboot for the change to take effect.
NOTE: DHCP is set as Disabled by default and is the recommended
setting in order to ensure optimal communications with all Luxul
Xen devices on the network.
IP Address: An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device on the
network. This fi eld shows the IP address that is assigned to the XAP-1010. To
ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking products, the IP
Address is automatically defaulted to 192.168.0.10. If desired, the user can set
this to a different static IP Address. To change the IP address of the Access
Point, simply type in the desired IP address (the text fi eld will be red if the
address is incomplete), click Apply and then Reboot for the changed to take
effect. When connecting to the Access Point through the XenSmart™ web
interface, the NEW IP Address must be used.
NOTE: Each device on the same network must have a unique IP address.
If the Access Point is assigned an IP address already in use, it
will result in an IP address confl ict that will need to be resolved
manually. For optimal communications with all Luxul Xen devices
on the network, it is recommended that IP addresses not be
changed unless absolutely necessary.
Subnet Mask: To ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking
products, the Subnet Mask is automatically defaulted to 255.255.255.0. If desired,
the user can set this to a different static Subnet Mask.
Default Gateway: A gateway is a router on the network that connects two or
more networks together. Typically the gateway (router) connects the local area
network (LAN) to the Internet. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) often provides
a physical device (usually a DSL modem or cable modem) that connects to the
gateway with an Ethernet cable, thus completing the link to the Internet. For
optimal connectivity and network functionality, this device could also be the
Luxul Xen XBR-2300 Router.
The Default Gateway fi eld is the IP address for this routing device. The default
confi guration is left blank or empty, allowing the Access Point to automatically fi nd
the necessary route to the Internet. It is recommended to leave this fi eld blank.
