B

IP Address Setup

The DSL-G604T is designed to provide network administrators maximum flexibility for IP addressing 
on the Ethernet LAN. The easiest IP setup choice in most cases is to let the Router do it using DHCP, 
which is enabled by default. This appendix briefly describes various options including DHCP, used for 
IP setup on a LAN. If you are new to IP networking, the next appendix provides some background 
information on basic IP concepts.

Assigning Network IP Addresses

The IP address settings, which include the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address are the first 
and most important internal network settings that need to be configured. The Router is assigned a 
default LAN IP address and subnet mask. If you do not have a preexisting IP network and are setting 
one up now, using the factory default IP address settings can greatly ease the setup process. If you 
already have a preexisting IP network, you can adjust the IP settings for the Router to fit within your 
existing scheme.

Using the Default IP Address

The Router is shipped with a preset default IP address setting of 192.168.1.1 for the LAN port. There 
are two ways to use this default IP address, you can manually assign an IP address and subnet mask 
for each PC on the LAN or you can instruct the Router to automatically assign them using DHCP. The 
simplest method is to use DHCP. The DHCP function is active by default.

Manual IP Address Assignment

Manually configuring IP settings for the LAN means you must manually set an IP address, subnet 
mask and IP address of the default gateway (the Router’s IP address) on each networked computer. 
The example listed below describes IP configuration for computers running Windows 95 or Windows 
98. Regardless of what operating system is used on each workstation, the three network IP settings 
must be defined so the network interface used by each workstation can be identified by the Router, 
and vice versa. For detailed information about configuring your workstations IP settings, consult the 
user’s guide included with the operating system or the network interface card (NIC).
1. In Windows 95/98, click on the 

Start

 button, go to 

Settings

 and choose 

Control Panel

2. In the window that opens, double-click on the 

Network

 icon. 

3. Under the Configuration tab, select the 

TCP/IP

 component and click 

Properties

.

4. Choose the 

Specify an IP address

 option and edit the address settings accordingly. Consult the 

table below for IP settings on a Class C network.
