LAN Configuration
This screen contains the setting that controls how the Router interacts with the local devices connected to the Router. Westell does not recommend that you change these settings. The following settings are displayed.
| LAN Configuration |
Router IP Address | This controls the IP address that the Router uses for local communication. |
Subnet Mask | This setting specifies the subnet mask to use to determine if an IP address |
| belongs to your local network. |
DHCP Start Address | This setting specifies the start of the IP address pool that the Router uses to |
| assign IP addresses to local devices. |
DHCP End Address | This setting specifies the end address of the IP address pool used for automatic |
| configuration of local devices. |
DNS Server Enable | DNS stands for Domain Name System. This is an Internet standard that |
| facilitates communication among devices. This allows a name to be used when |
| specifying a device instead of an IP address. Normally you want this enabled. |
DHCP Server Enable | DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This is an Internet |
| standard that allows the Router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices |
| connected on the LAN network. It is advised that this option is set to Enabled. |
