About LAN IP Settings

The gateway is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The LAN IP settings are explained below:

•LAN IP address: This is the IP address of the gateway. The default is 192.168.0.1.

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the gateway while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to

the new IP address and log in again

•Subnet mask: This is the LAN subnet mask of the gateway. The default is 255.255.255.0. Combined with the IP address, the subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.

These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN IP page.

•DHCP Server: By default, the gateway is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See “Using the Gateway as a DHCP Server” on page 4-5.

•Starting Address and Ending Address: Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.253. The range of IP addresses between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.9 can be used for devices with fixed (or static) addresses.

•DHCP Reservation Lease Info: View information about each PC that has been assigned a DHCP lease by the gateway. The MAC address of the PC, IP address assigned and the expiration time of the DHCP lease are listed. You can manually revoke the DHCP leases by clicking Clear DHCP Leases.
