2.6
Configuration
This section provides instructions for configuring your Internet settings to work with the
router.
2.6.1 Before you begin
By default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address:
192.168.1.1
. (You can change this IP
address as you need. For example: IP 192.168.1.2 NetMask 255.255.255.0).
Note:
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information manually to some or all of your
computers rather than allow the PAMSPAN501X to do so. See “Assigning static Internet information” for
instructions.
2.6.2 Assigning static Internet information
If you are like most users, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your
LAN PCs. Your ISP automatically assigns this information.
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 the PAMSPAN501X 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). (suggest to delete)
•
You maintain different subnets on your LAN.
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand, or contact your ISP if
you do not know it:
•
The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each PC to which you will be
assigning static IP information.
•
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the address
assigned to the LAN port on the PAMSPAN501X.
•
The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you wish to assign static information, follow the instructions on
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
