2.For Operation Mode, select the radio button for CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) or CO (Central Office). When using a “LAN to LAN” connection, one side must be set as CO and the other side must be set as CPE.

3.Enter information for the MGMT port. The Model 2160 requires an IP address to be managed over the network. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 . You can configure another IP address and a different subnet mask for management purposes.

–IP: 192.168.1.1

–Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

–Host Name: SOHO

Some ISP providers require the Host Name as identification. You may check with your ISP to see if your Internet service has been configured with a host name. In most cases, you can ignore this field.

4.Select an option for Trigger DHCP Service. If you don't need the DHCP service, select Disable.

5.Click Next to commit your changes and continue to the DHCP Server page (see “DHCP server” on page 36).

Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network. The embedded DHCP server assigns network con-
