Abstract
A method by a cabin wireless access point (CWAP) server includes receiving an IP address request message from a CWAP installed in a vehicle cabin. The IP address request message contains data identifying a physical location of the CWAP within the vehicle cabin. The physical location of the CWAP is identified within the vehicle cabin responsive to the data contained in the IP address request message. An IP address is assigned to the CWAP responsive to the physical location of the CWAP identified by the data. An IP address message containing the IP address is communicated to the CWAP. Related methods by CWAPs and corresponding CWAP servers and CWAPs are disclosed.
