DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

Step 3a - Configuring the LAN Port

Preparing the router for connection to a LAN only requires enabling the LAN port, enabling IP networking ,and assigning the LAN port an IP address. After the LAN port is configured, all other features on the router can be configured remotely through the LAN by using the included Windows-based Router Configuration Utility or Telnet.

To configure the LAN:

1.The LAN port must be enabled in the Interface Configuration submenu.

♦Choose Interface Configuration!LAN 1.

♦Position the cursor over the State item and press <space bar>. The State will change from Disable to Enable.

♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new setting.

♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.

2.Enable IP Networking

♦Choose Network Configuration!IP Configuration.

♦Position the cursor on the IP Networking line and press <space bar> to Enable it.

♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new setting.

3.Assign an IP address to the LAN port in the Network Configuration submenu of the Main Menu.

♦Still in Network Configuration!IP Configuration submenu from Step 2 above, choose IP Stack Configuration!LAN 1.

♦Enter a valid IP address for the LAN in the first item. You may also enter a Netmask if you wish. For more information about IP Addresses and Subnet masks, please refer to “Appendix C – IP Concepts.”

♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new setting.

♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.

The router can now be accessed via the LAN by Telnet, the Windows-based DI-1162/DI-1162M Router Configuration Utility (included with the router) and other SNMP management applications.

If you have any questions regarding the settings you made or other settings in the submenus, please refer to the next chapter, “Configuration and Management.”

At this point, please proceed to the next initial configuration step.
