Network Configuration
4.1
Working Mode of Network
DWG2000-1G works in two modes: route mode and bridge mode. When it is under the route mode, the IP
of WAN port must be different from the IP f LAN port. But when it is under the bridge mode, the IP of
WAN and the IP of LAN are the same.
4.2
Network Configuration under Route Mode
Under the route mode, the default IP address of WAN port is a DHCP IP address, while the default IP
address of the LAN port is
192.168.11.1.
In fact, there are three kinds of IP addresses for selection for the WAN port, including Static IP address,
DHCP IP address and PPPOE IP address.
DHCP: Obtain IP address automatically.
DWG2000-1G is regarded as a DHCP client, which sends a broadcast request and looks for a DHCP server
to answer. Then the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to a computer from a defined range
of numbers configured for a given network. DHCP IP address herein refers dynamic IP address which is
automatically assigned.
Static IP Address:
Static IP address is a permanent IP address which is assigned by Internet Service Provider (ISP) and
remains associated with a single computer over an extended period of time. This differs from a dynamic IP
address, which is assigned ad hoc at the start of each session, normally changing from one session to the
next.
If you choose static IP address, you need to fill in the following information:
IP Address: the IP address of the DWG2000-1G device;
Subnet Mask: the subnet mask of the router connected the DWG2000-1G;
Default Gateway: the IP address of the router connected the DWG2000-1G.
