Setup 24
Adjusting LAN Settings (if required)Depending on your setup, you may have to adjust some of the configuration settings on your
computers or servers in order to communicate with the Eicon1530. Due to the diversity of
networking equipment and topologies, this section can only cover the most common setups. If
you setup is more complex, contact your network administrator (or other support personnel) to
help with the installation.
Once you make these changes, the computers on your network may need to be restarted in
order to acquire the new settings.
•If your LAN uses static addressing: Set the ‘Default Gateway’ and ‘DNS Server’ settings
of each computer to the address of the Eicon1530. These settings are normally found in the
TCP/IP settings for your operating system.
•If your LAN has a DHCP server: Configure your DHCP server to return the address of the
Eicon 1530 as the ‘Default Gateway’ and ‘DNS Server’ to all clients.
•If your LAN has a router: Most likely, your router is configured as the default gateway for
your computers. In this case, you will need to configure the routing table on your router to
re-direct the appropriate traffic to the Eicon1530, as well as add a route on the Eicon1530 to
direct appropriate traffic to the router.
Consider the following example:
Traffic from LAN A addressed to LAN B is forwarded by the router to LAN B.
Traffic from LAN B addressed to the external network needs to be forwarded by the router to
the Eicon1530. This requires you to configure a route on the router.
Traffic from the external network to LAN B needs to be forwarded to the router. This requires
you to configure a route on the Eicon1530. No route is needed for traffic to LAN A.
