14Installation and configuration

bIn order for a device to be able to assign addresses to other devices on a TCP/IP network, it first needs an IP address valid in the LAN itself (LAN-IP address). Click

the entry in the device list to open the configuration dialog. If an entry doesn't exist yet, create a new one using Device E New. For the IP address, enter '10.0.0.254' or 'x.x.x.254', in which 'x.x.x' stands for the addresses previously in use in your network, if applicable. Switch to the 'TCP/IP' configuration section and on the 'General' tab, enter the LAN IP address and the associated netmask.

–If you have not used any IP addresses on your network so far, you can assign any address you like from the address space reserved for private use, e.g. '10.0.0.1' with the subnet mask '255.255.255.0'. You are thereby also defining the address space that the DHCP server will use for the other devices on the network.

–If you have already configured IP addresses on the computers on the LAN, allocate a free address to the device from the address space you used previously.

cOn the 'Router' tab, enable the 'IP Router' option.

dOn the 'Masquerading' tab, enable the 'IP Masquerading' function. This will conceal the IP addresses in use in your local network from the Internet. This protects your network from intruders and avoids conflicts with other networks that may be using the same addresses internally (also see IP addressing and IP masquerading).

eGo to the 'DHCP' tab and set the DHCP server to Auto mode. This lets the unit handle the local IP address administration by itself. The ELSA MicroLink Cable determines the valid address pool by itself unless you specify otherwise.
