MSM335
Initial configuration (autonomous mode)
8-12
Pre-configure the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to the MSM335. To do
this you need to specify the MSM335 Ethernet MAC address and a reserved IP address on
the DHCP server. The MSM335 Ethernet MAC address is printed on the MSM335 label
identified as Ethernet Base MAC, and listed on the management tool Home page as
Ethernet base MAC address.
Let the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. By default, the DHCP
server will assign an IP address once the MSM335 connects to the network. Once the
DHCP server has assigned the MSM335 an IP address, you can then find the IP address of
the MSM335 by looking for its Ethernet base MAC address in the DHCP server log. For
example after Step 6.4 below, you could go to the DHCP server log to retrieve the IP
address assigned to the MSM335.
Assign a static IP address to the MSM335. The address must be on the same subnet
as the network to which the MSM335 will connect.
1. Select Network > DNS, and set the DNS server address. Select Save.
2. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
3. Select Static and then Configure. Configure settings as follows:
IP address: Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which
the MSM335 will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated
static address ranges.
Mask: Set the corresponding mask for the IP address.
Default gateway: Set the IP address of the gateway on the network.
4. Select Save. Connection to the management tool is lost.
Step 6: Test the wireless network
For the purposes of this example, the network must have a DHCP server and an Internet
connection. Broadband routers typically include a DHCP server.
1. Disconnect your computer from the PoE switch or injector or the MSM335.
2. Power off the MSM335:
If using a PoE switch or injector, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the MSM335.
If using a power supply, disconnect it.
3. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch or the data in port of the injector to
the network.
4. Reconnect and power on the MSM335:
If using a PoE switch or injector, use a standard Ethernet cable to reconnect the
MSM335 to the PoE switch or the data and power out port of the injector.
If using a power supply, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the MSM335 to the
network, and reconnect the MSM335 power supply.
