4.6 The basic configuration
The most important configuration tasks that you can and should perform with
your new device include:
Assignment of a fixed IP address
Activation of the DHCP server in the router
Security settings
Setup of Internet access or the fixed connection
Configuration of the ISDN interface
All of these configuration tasks can be performed using the so-called
LANconfig wizards. These are controlled input menus that provide
information and assistance for each configuration step. Performing the basic
configuration with the assistance of the wizards will simplify the process of
entering the basic data. Complete beginners can configure a complex router
with the help of the wizards and professionals also have a lot to gain from
them.
The wizards are available in two programs:
in ELSA LANconfig under Windows operating systems
in ELSA WEBconfig which can be accessed from any web browser
4.6.1 Basic configuration under Windows with ELSA
LANconfig
Launch ELSA LANconfig with Start Programs ELSAlan
LANconfig .
LANconfig searches the network for existing devices. The basic configuration
wizard starts automatically as soon as the new ELSA LANCOM
Business 6000 is found.
This wizard will assist you with the most important basic settings: The fixed
IP address of the device and the netmask to be used. In addition, you can
determine whether the DHCP server in the router should be enabled or not.
Once these basic settings have been made, you will be offered the wizards
for typical device functions such as Internet access, network interconnection,
security options, etc. Start the desired wizard and make the required settings.
This will then set up the router for the tasks selected.
