Configuring the LAN

2Configure the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

 

 

LAN Protocol

Select the message format to be used for your LAN.

 

• Select Bridge if the LAN forwards packets based on MAC addresses. If you

 

selected RFC 1483 Bridge protocol for the WAN sessions (page 23), select Bridge

 

for the LAN traffic.

 

• Select Router if the LAN routes packets based on IP addresses. If you selected

 

RFC 1483 Router or PPP protocol for the WAN sessions (page 23), select Router

 

for the LAN traffic.

IP Address

See your LAN administrator for LAN IP addresses.

 

However, if you want to change the IP address through the Web interface, enter an

 

IP address for the LAN (10BaseT) port provided by the LAN administrator. Or, you

 

can use the default IP address for the LAN port which is 10.0.0.1. If you choose to

 

use the default IP address, ensure that the devices on your LAN are on the same

 

subnet as the MM701F LAN port.

 

If you select Client for the DHCP configuration (below in this table), a DHCP server

 

on your LAN automatically provides the IP address.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask for the LAN (10BaseT) port provided by the LAN

 

administrator. Or, you can use the default subnet mask for the LAN port which is

 

255.255.255.0. If you choose to use the default subnet mask, ensure that it allows

 

devices on your LAN to access the MM701F LAN port.

Default Gateway

Enter the default IP address for a default gateway that is supplied by the service

 

provider.

DHCP

See your LAN administrator for the DHCP selection. You selected whether or not you

 

wanted to enable DHCP in “Determining IP Addresses” on page 14.

 

However, if you want to change that DHCP selection through the Web interface,

 

select one of the following:

 

• None—DHCP is not enabled.

 

• Client—The MM701F is a DHCP client and can be served an IP address for the

 

LAN port by a DHCP server on your LAN.

 

• Server—The MM701F is a DHCP server and can serve IP addresses to devices

 

on your LAN. See DHCP Range Low and High for the ranges of IP addresses that

 

the MM701F can serve.

DHCP Range Low

Enter the IP address supplied by your LAN administrator. This is the lowest IP

 

address value that the MM701F can serve when configured as a DHCP server.

DHCP Range High

Enter the IP address supplied by your LAN administrator. This is the highest IP

 

address value that the MM701F can serve when configured as a DHCP server.
