4.34.1 Additional Confi guration for GPRS
If you are intending to use your GPRS router to connect a local PC or laptop to remote services via
GPRS, you will need to ensure that both the PC and the router share a common TCP/IP subnet.
To ensure that this is the case, use the unit’s DHCP server to give your PC an IP address in the
correct range. To do this, navigate to
Confi gure
>
DHCP Server
>
Ethernet Port n
.
Fill in the six sections appropriately (
Next server address
is optional), then click
OK
, not forgetting
to save the con
fi
guration later. In the above example, the unit has an IP address (set in
Confi gure
>
Ethernet
>
ETH0
) of 192.168.0.99 and the
fi
rst PC to connect to it will be given an address of
192.168.0.1 enabling communication on the same subnet.
If you have correctly con
fi
gured the unit, you should now be able to connect the LAN port to a PC or
Laptop (using an Ethernet hub or a crossover cable), for the purpose of accessing host services such
as Internet pages or email.
