Valid values for the parameters shown on the LAN Setup screen are defined in the following table.

LAN Parameter

Valid parameter Values

 

 

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, 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, 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, enter an IP

 

address for the LAN (10Base-T) 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.

IP Net Mask

Enter the subnet mask for the LAN (10Base-T) 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.

 

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.
