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 Eicon 1530. 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 Eicon 1530. 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
Consider the following example:
Eicon 1530
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 Eicon 1530. 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 Eicon 1530. No route is needed for traffic to LAN A.
