Prestige 2602H/HW Series User’s Guide
•The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup.
•The Prestige acts as a DNS proxy when the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields are left blank in the LAN Setup screen.
4.4LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has
4.4.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
•IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
•DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
4.5 LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has
4.5.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are
