System Configuration
DSA-5100 Installation Guide
IP PNP: When enabled, you can use any IP address to connect to the Public LAN. You can authenticate to the DSA-5100
and access network resources regardless of your IP configuration. Note: This function only works when NAT is used.
Mobile IP: This option allows a user to use the same IP configuration across a network using several DSA-5100 units.
Global LAN Configuration
You can set the system to Enable or Disable the IP PNP or mobile IP options for the public LAN and private LAN
simultaneously.
Interface Configuration
The Interface Configuration options only vary slightly between the Public LAN, Private LAN, and VLAN Configurations.
The VLAN Configuration is the only configuration that provides the VLAN Tag option. The Private LAN Port doesn’t have
the option for User Authentication.
• VLAN: Enable or disable the VLAN option (only applicable in the Public LAN and VLAN Interface Configuration).
•
Enable
User Authentication: Controls user authentication per selected interface when enabled. The default is
disabled.
•
Operation Mode
:
NAT Mode: In this mode, all IP addresses that are connected through the Public LAN Port are converted into the IP
address of the WAN1 Port for external communication.
Router Mode: All IP addresses that are connected through the Public LAN Port use their individual IP addresses for
external communication. In this mode, the DSA-5100 acts like a Router.
• IP Address: The IP address to be used for the selected interface.
• Subnet Mask: The subnet mask to be used for the selected interface.
