Turns out their settings to use a hard-coded I.P. address (e.g. 10.224.88.245) got changed to use DHCP at power on to get their I.P. address. I had to go through the DHCP-assigned addresses starting at 10.224.88.150-200, until I found all three access points on our network, then change their "Configuration Server Protocol:" from "DHCP" to "None", and their "Default IP Address:" to 10.224.88.245-247. =============================================================================================== To initially configure a brand-new WAP, connect to the serial port as above, and Change the "IP [Address ]" by typing ad, the I.P. address, then Enter. Change the "Default [Gateway ]" by typing ga, the gateway's I.P. address, then Enter. Change the "IP [Subnet Mask ]" by typing su, the subnet mask, then Enter.
