Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Use

Configuring Your IP Connection

To configure your IP network connection, you need to:

❑Configure LAN properties

❑Set up your IP network connection

❑Configure IP network support

Configuring LAN Properties

The first step in setting up your IP connection is to configure the LAN properties.

If you are connecting your V500 system directly to a cable or DSL modem, before you begin you need to know the public IP address assigned to your system by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your ISP will provide you with one of these IP addresses:

❑Static IP address – This address is reserved for your system and will not change. When you configure the LAN properties of the system, choose the Enter IP Address Manually option.

Your ISP should also provide you with the DNS server address, default gateway address, subnet mask, and WINS server IP address.

❑Dynamic IP address – This address is obtained from your ISP’s DHCP server, and therefore may change. When you configure the LAN properties of the system, choose the Obtain IP Address Automatically option.

When you choose this option, the DNS server address, default gateway address, and other settings should fill in automatically.

To configure LAN properties:

1.Go to System > Admin Settings > LAN Properties.
