 Clicking the Obtain an IP address automatically click-box instructs the

Cardbus Adapter to use the DHCP protocol to obtain its IP settings from

the selected AP. This will only work if the AP is also configured to

assign IP addresses using the DHCP protocol.

 If the Obtain an IP address automatically click-box is not clicked, the IP

address setting fields will be open for you to enter the appropriate

settings.

 You will need to know the following settings:

 IP Address

 Subnet mask

 Default gateway address

 DNS server address

 WINS address

 If you do not know the above IP settings for your computer, contact your

Network Administrator.

 Click OK to continue.

Note: the AirPro Management Utility allows you to maintain two different

sets of IP settings for your new DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter − the IP

settings entered using the AirPro Management Utility (illustrated above and

referred to as profile IP Settings) and IP settings using Windows

Networking and Dial-up Connections folder (located in the Windows

Control Panel). You can switch between these two sets of IP settings using

the AirPro Management Utility. Click on the Options tab, and then click the

Enable profile IP Settings click-box to use the IP settings entered using the

AirPro Management Utility. Leave the Enable profile IP Settings click-box

blank to use the Windows Networking and Dial-up Connections IP settings.

This is useful if you need to connect to two different WLAN networks that

require different IP settings − such as an office WLAN and home WLAN.
