To set up the Internet connection mode of the EXPLORER 710, do as follows:
1. From the
Terminal settings
page, locate
Connection
.
2. At
Internet connection mode
, select
Bridge mode
or
Router mode
. Router mode is
the default setting and is recommended for most purposes.
• Select
Router mode
if one or more computers are connected and the EXPLORER 710
should act as a router. When Router mode is selected, the EXPLORER 710 uses the built-
in NAT module for making the necessary address translations.
• Select
Bridge mode
if only one computer is connected, and the EXPLORER 710 should
act as a modem, or more than one computer is connected using an external router.
3. If you selected
Bridge mode
, select under
Bridge mode IP address
how the terminal’s
IP address should be assigned.
•
Dynamic
example: If the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the locally
connected equipment is 10.30.27.130, the terminal will get the IP address 10.40.27.130.
(in most cases it will be 10 added to the second octet of the assigned IP address).
•
Plus one
example: If the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the locally
connected equipment is 161.30.181.130, the terminal will get the IP address
161.30.181.131 (the assigned IP address plus one).
4. Under
Local IP address
, type in a new IP address if you want to change the Local IP
address of the terminal. This is the address used to access the web interface. The default IP
address is
192.168.0.1
.
5. Under
DHCP,
select
Enable
(recommended for most purposes).
• If you select
Enable
, the terminal assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices connected to
the terminal.
• If you
disable DHCP
you need to set up a static IP address in the connected device.
6. If you want to change the
Subnet mask
for the local network of the terminal, type in the
new network mask. The default network mask is
255.255.255.0
.
7. Under
DHCP range start
and
DHCP range end
, type in the range of IP addresses that
should be assigned to locally connected equipment.
8. Click
Save
.
Note
Do
not
connect more than one computer in Bridge mode, unless you have an
external router.
Important
A number of IP addresses are reserved for internal use. Do not assign any of
the IP addresses listed in
List of reserved IP subnets on page 133
.
