WAP IP Address

Question:
Does WAP have a concept of IP address?

Answer:
You can get the gateway IP address and the terminal IP address using HTTP headers. WAP 1.1 currently has no persistent way of identifying each device that connects (i.e., each time you reconnect you are assigned another “IP”).

Some discussion about this very problem has come up with WAP 1.2 and WIM cards.
