Chapter 6
IP CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes about changing the PC’s IP address.
Changing of the PC’s IP address is required when setting up a LAN used with the
AP-12 with a fixed IP setting and a PC.
The default IP address is used with the AP-12 (192.168.0.1) for the setting descrip-
tion in this chapter.
Changing the PC’s IP address is not necessary when the PC has been connect-
ed to a LAN with a DHCP server, and obtains an IP address from the DHCP serv-
er.

[Setting the IP address and subnet mask]
• Set a unique IP address for each PC in the network group.
• Set the same subnet mask for all PCs in the network group.
• Set private addresses. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 are used for a small net-
work group (up to 253 terminals). However, never assign the network address
(192.168.XXX.0) and broadcast address (192.168.XXX.255) to the terminal.
(XXX: 0 to 255)
See the following address examples of a wireless LAN comprised of three PCs.
Wireless terminal A: 192.168.0.10 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
Wireless terminal B: 192.168.0.11 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
Wireless terminal C: 192.168.0.12 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
