Hotwire 6210, 6211, and 6381 User’s Guide

4.4.2Modify an Existing Connection

To modify an existing connection:

1.From the Home screen, click on Setup

2.Click on the connection you want to modify. The connections are listed as Connection 1 through Connection 8.

If you delete a connection, to make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.

4.4.3Modem Setup

To configure the DSL modulation type:

1.From the Home screen, click on Setup.

2.Under WAN Setup, select Modem Setup. This will bring up the Modem Setup screen. Leave the default values if your ISP did not provide this information. For most all cases, this screen should not be modified.

The apply button will temporarily save these settings. To make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.

4.5Configuring the LAN

By default, your CPE has DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers; if you plug a second DHCP server into the network, you will experience network errors and the network will not function normally.

4.5.1Enable/Disable DHCP

To enable or disable DHCP:

1.From the Home screen, click on Setup.

2.Under LAN Setup, select DHCP Configuration. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 4-10.

3.Specify a Start IP address. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the modem’s IP address value. For example, if the modem’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 (the default) than the Start IP address must be 192.168.1. 2 or higher.

4.Specify an End IP address. The End IP Address is the last address the DHCP server can issue. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254. The maximum IP address for a modem using the default address is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users will not get access to network resources.

5.Specify a Lease Time. The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of seconds; the default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour).

Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet as the modem’s IP address. For example, if the modem’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 (the default), and you change the DHCP Start and End IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2 and 192.128.1.100, you will not be able to communicate with the modem if your PC has DHCP enabled.
