Installing the AG-2000w 51
Assigning the Location Information and IP Addresses
The “location” command in the Configuration menu establishes the AG-2000w’s
location settings, the network interface IP address, the subnet mask, and the default
gateway IP address. All of these “location” parameters must be set up as part of the
system’s start up configuration (otherwise the AG-2000w will not be “visible” on the
network).
1.
Enter
c
(configuration) at the AG Menu .
The Configuration menu appears.
2.
Enter
loc
(set Location options).
The system displays the Company Name. If the name displayed is not correct (or
no name is entered), enter it now.
3.
When prompted, enter the company’s address (line by line - 6 lines).
4.
When prompted, enter a valid email address for this company.
The system now displays the current network interface IP address and prompts
you for a valid address. The network interface IP address is the public IP address
that allows administrators to see the AG-2000w on the network. Use this address
when you need to make a network connection with the AG-2000w (see note).
5.
When prompted, enter a valid network interface IP address.
After assigning the network interface IP address, the system displays the current
subnet mask (the default mask is 255.255.255.0). The subnet mask defines the
number of IP addresses that are available on the routed subnet where the AG-
2000w is located.
6.
Enter a valid subnet mask.
After assigning the subnet mask, the system displays the current default gateway
IP address (the factory default is 10.0.0.1). This is the IP address of the router
that the AG-2000w uses to transmit data to the Internet.
7.
Enter a valid default gateway IP address.
If the DHCP Client is enabled, you can skip the remaining steps in this
procedure. Continue only if the DHCP Client is disabled.
The network interface acts as a multifunctional “translator.” For
example, if a subscriber’s computer is setup statically for a network with
a gateway address of 10.1.1.1, the AG-2000w emulates the gateway to
accommodate this subscriber while emulating other gateways to
accommodate other subscribers .
