4 Basic configuration
In this chapter we will explain the basic configuration of your LANCOM
Office :
• Assignment of a free IP address
• Activation of the integrated DHCP server (if desired)
• Protection of the configuration access by password
• Configuration of the ISDN interface
• Setting up an Internet access
4.1 Starting the setup wizard
Any unconfigured LANCOM Office can be accessed in two comfortable ways:
• LANconfig will automatically find any unconfigured LANCOM and will
start the setup wizard for its basic configuration automatically.
• With WEBconfig : Enter IP address of the unconfigured LANCOM Office at
any PC of the connected network in the address field of a web browser.
In certain network environments you can access your
LANCOM Office
also with the input of any name in the address field. See ’What is the IP
address of the LANCOM Office?’ on page 28.
You should never have more than one unconfigured LANCOM in a network
segment at any given time, since all unconfigured LANCOM devices use the
same IP address (with final digits '254'), which would result in an address
conflict then. To avoid such problems, always configure multiple LANCOM
devices one after the other, immediately assigning unique IP addresses.
4.1.1 Basic configuration with LANconfig
a Start up LANconfig by clicking Start / Programs / LANCOM / LANcon-
fig .
LANconfig automatically detects the new LANCOM Office in the TCP/IP
network. Then the setup wizard starts that will help you making the basic
settings of the device or will even do all the work for you (provided a suit-
able network environment exists).
