Configuration with Advanced Setup

LAN Configuration

You can use LAN configuration to

define an IP address for the router and

define whether the router should automatically assign the IP addresses for the PCs in your local network or not.

The default IP address for the router is 192.186.2.1. This is the router's Private IP address. This is the address under which the router can be reached on the local network. It can be freely assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address under which the router can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.

The router has a DHCP Server, whose factory setting is active. Thus the PCs' IP addresses are automatically assigned by the router. If you want to assign static IP addresses for the PCs, you will have to deactivate the DHCP server.

If the router's DHCP server is active, configure the PCs' network settings so that the Obtain an IP address automatically option is checked. To find out how to do this, please turn to page 17 in

i"Configuring the local network".

If you deactivate the router's DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the PCs using the network settings. This is described in Practical Tips and Configuration Examples on the supplied CD.

Select LAN in the menu bar.
