DESCRIPTION

Get from DHCP Server

Click this to deploy the NBG4615 as an access point in the network.

 

When you enable this, the NBG4615 gets its IP address from the

 

network’s DHCP server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the

 

NBG4615 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 NBG4615. You need to reset

 

the NBG4615 to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see

 

Section 29.7 on page 218 for details on how to reset the NBG4615).

 

Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your

 

NBG4615 in the field below.

 

 

Use Defined LAN IP

Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG4615. Or if your

Address

ISP or network 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 NBG4615 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 NBG4615.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Enter a Gateway IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave

 

you one) in this field.

 

 

DNS Assignment

 

 

 

First DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information

Second DNS Server

(and the NBG4615's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the

(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.

 

 

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

 

the DNS server's IP 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-Defined

 

changes 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.
