LAN Setup

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.

6.1 LAN Overview

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers
are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same
building or floor of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server
and manage IP addresses.
See Section 6.3 on page 40 to configure the LAN screens.
6.1.1 LANs, WANs and the P-660HWP-Dx
The actual physical connection determines whether the P-660HWP-Dx ports are LAN or
WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other
outside the WAN network as shown next.
