Changing the LAN Modem IP Address for Static IP Users

Setting Up Additional Service Provider Profiles

If you followed the steps in Chapter 3 “Setting Up Your Computer If You Have a Static IP Address”, and chose to follow the manual procedure, you must now change the LAN Modem’s default IP address to recognize your statically configured workstation. The following steps explain how this is done.

1Access the LAN Modem’s main page by entering the following URL in your Web browser: http://3com.oc.lanmodem. Alternatively, you can use the numeric form of this same IP address: http://192.168.1.1.

2From the Dual 56K LAN Modem’s main configuration page, click the LAN Parameters icon.

The LAN (Ethernet) Parameters page appears.

3In the IP Address field, enter your workstation’s original Gateway IP address that you recorded as part of the step sequence under “Setting Up Your Computer If You Have a Static IP Address.”

4Click Submit.

The Dual 56K LAN Modem resets itself.

5Quit your Web browser.

6Reset your workstation back to the original network settings you recorded in “Setting Up Your Computer If You Have a Static IP Address.”

7Restart your workstation.

This completes the setup procedure for using a statically configured workstation with the LAN Modem.

Now that you have finished configuring your Dual 56K LAN Modem for private network access, you can set up additional Service Provider profiles, if you desire.

To configure an additional Service Provider profile for connection to another private network, repeat Steps 8 through 28 of this section. You will find that the name you assigned to the present private network profile now appears in the Service Provider profile list.
