Assigning IP parameters at the WAN interface (port 1)
After the connection has been established between the WAN interface and the network, the
NAT router is started. By default upon delivery, the NAT router starts without an IP
configuration at the WAN port. It cyclically sends a DHCP discover as broadcast requests
to a DHCP server in the local network (company network). The server responds to the
requests with a DHCP offer, which contains the requested parameters. The device can then
be accessed via the IP parameters that have been assigned via DHCP.
The “IPAssign.exe” addressing tool, which is available free of charge, can be used to assign
the IP parameters (see “IP address assignment using IPAssign.exe” on page 3-2).
The IP parameters of the WAN port can be configured statically via the RS-232 interface
using the password.

Serial interface settings
A local communication connection can be established to an external management station
via the RS-232 interface in Mini-DIN format. The “PRG CAB MINI DIN” programming cable,
Order No. 2730611, should be used for this. Communication is established using a
corresponding emulation between the NAT router and a PC (e.g., HyperTerminal under
Windows) and thus enables access to the user interface.
The IP parameters of the WAN port can now be modified via the RS-232 interface using the
password.
Modifications can only be made by entering the valid password. By default upon delivery,
the password is “private”.
