Select the option 'make all settings automatically' if you are
not
familiar with
networks and IP addresses and one of the following conditions applies:
– You have not used any IP addresses previously in your network but would now
like to do so. You do not care which IP address should be used. The router as a
DHCP-server will automatically set and assign the IP addresses for all devices in
the network (LAN and WLAN).
or
– You do not wish to use IP addresses, perhaps because you have a Windows-only
network.
If you do not know whether IP addresses have been used in your network, first click on
Start
-
Run
, enter the following command in the window
winipcfg
and click
OK
. If
the next window shows the value '0.0.0.0' in the field 'IP address', the computer has
never had an IP address.
In Windows NT you can check IP addresses with the command
ipconfig
.
Select the option 'I want to make the settings myself' if you are familiar with
networks and IP addresses and one of the following conditions applies:
– You have not used any IP addresses previously in your network but would now
like to do so. However, you wish to set the IP address for the router and assign
it an address from an address range reserved for private use, e.g. '10.0.0.1' with
the network mask '255.255.255.0'. At the same time you will set the address
range that the DHCP server uses for the other devices in the network (so long as
the DHCP server is not switched off).
– You have previously used IP addresses on the computers in the LAN. Assign the
router a free address from the previously used address range, and select whether
the router should run as a DHCP server or not.
You can find more information on the general structure of networks and setting IP
addresses in the electronic documentation on the ELSA LANCOM CD. The functions of
the DHCP server are described later in this manual.
The Internet access wizard starts automatically on completion of the basic settings
wizard. Enter only the user name and the password supplied by your provider.
After these few mouse clicks your router is fully set up for access to the Internet.
