Chapter 3
Internet Access
This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN as well as the CABLE of your Prestige for Internet access.
3.1 TCP/IP and DHCP for LAN
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
3.1.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
1. IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).
2. DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If the parameters are satisfactory, you can
skip to section
3.2 TCP/IP and DHCP Ethernet Setup
to enter the DNS server address(es) if your ISP gives
you explicit DNS server address(es). If you wish to change the factory defaults or to learn more about TCP/IP,
please read on.
3.1.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the houses on a street that share a common street name, the machines on a LAN share one common
network number, also.
Where you obtain your network number, it would depend on your particular situation. If the ISP or your
network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the
IP addresses and the subnet mask.
