DM111P ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem Reference Manual

Setting Up Your Ethernet Connection

If you intend to connect your modem to a router then, once you are connected to the Internet as described in the preceding section, use the web-browser-based modem-management utility to configure the Local Area Network Internet Protocol (LAN IP) settings, as follows:

1.If you have not already done so, open the web-based utility as described in “Opening the Web- Based Modem Management Utility” on page 2-4.

2.Select LAN IP Setup from the main menu.

Figure 2-9

3.Check the LAN IP address of your router, which is usually printed on a label on the bottom or at the rear of the device. Note how the address is comprised of four numbers separated by period characters. If necessary, change the LAN IP address of the modem so that the two left- most numbers of the address are the same as the two left-most numbers of the router’s LAN IP address, and the third number in the modem’s address is different from the third number in the router’s address. For example, if the router’s LAN IP address is the same as the modem’s default address (192.168.0.1), change the LAN IP address of the modem to 192.168.1.1.

Tip: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem, write the new address on a sticky label and attach it to the bottom of the unit. You will need the new address to access the modem management utility in the future.
