Configuring the LAN IP Address
The LAN IP address identifies the LAN port (eth-0) as a node on
your network; that is, its IP address must be in the same subnet as
the PCs on your LAN.
Definition
A
network
node
can be thought of as any interface where a
device connects to the network, such as HSA300’s LAN port and
the network interface cards on your PCs. See Appendix 0 for an
explanation of subnets..
You can change the default to reflect the set of IP addresses that
you want to use with your network.
If your network uses a local DHCP server (other than the
ADSL/Ethernet router) to assign IP addresses, you can configure
the device to accept and use a LAN IP address assigned by that
server. In this mode, the ADSL/Ethernet router is considered a
DHCP client
of your DHCP server.
Note
HSA300 itself can function as a DHCP server for your LAN
computers, as described in Chapter 5,
but not for its own LAN
port
.
Follow these steps to change the default LAN IP address or to
configure the LAN port as a DHCP client.
1. Log into Configuration Manager, and then click the LAN tab.
