5.2 LAN Setting
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
The device is shipped preconfigured in a router mode and to use private IP addresses on
the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
•LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private
networks and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP
addressing scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser,
you are disconnected. You will have to open a new connection to the new IP address and
log in again.
By default, the device acts as a DHCP server. It assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default IP
address of the device 192.168.1.1 is also the gateway address. The device assigns IP
addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in the LAN Setup
screen

Tips: DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which can
assign IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway of LAN Client on TCP/IP automatically.
