Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
If you are a typical user, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your LAN PCs because your Service
Provider automatically assigns this information for you.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your PCs directly (often called
‘statically’), rather than allowing ip500pbxw to assign it. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always associate with specific computers (for
example, if you are using a computer as a public web server).
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in Appendix 0).
Before you begin, you must have the following information available:
The IP address and subnet mask of each PC
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN port on
ip500pbxw.
By default, the LAN port is assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number or another number can be
assigned by your Service Provider.)
The IP address of your Service Provider’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions relating only to checking for and/or
installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server and default
gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.
Note
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the LAN port.
