DESCRIPTION

 

Get from DHCPClick this to deploy the Router as an access point in the network.

 

Server

When you enable this, the Router gets its IP address from the network’s DHCP server (for

 

 

 

 

example, your ISP). Users connected to the Router can now access the network (i.e., the

 

 

Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP).

 

 

The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address assigned

 

 

by the DHCP server to the Router. You need to reset the Router to be able to access the Web

 

 

Configurator again (see Section 25.7 on page 184 for details on how to reset the Router).

 

 

Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your Router in the field below.

 

 

 

 

Use Defined

Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your Router. Or if your ISP or network

 

LAN IP Address

administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet.

 

 

 

 

IP Address

Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2. If you

 

 

change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.

 

 

 

 

IP Subnet Mask

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Router will

 

 

automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless

 

 

you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the Router.

 

 

 

 

Gateway IP

Enter a Gateway IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave you one) in this

 

Address

field.

 

 

 

 

DNS Assignment

 

 

 

 

 

First DNS

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the Router's

 

Server

WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that

 

Second DNSthe ISP assigns.

 

Select User-Definedif you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP

 

Server

 

 

address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the IP address set to

 

 

0.0.0.0, User-Definedchanges to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to

 

 

User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-Definedchanges to None

 

 

after you click Apply.

 

 

Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS

 

 

server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
