Chapter 3 Configuring
The first time you setup the WA1003A-RU it is recommended that
you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making
sure that both the computer and the WA1003A-RU are not connected
to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you
may continue to make changes to WA1003A-RU configuration
including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with
using your computer to configure the WAN connection and describes
the various menus used to configure and monitor the WA1003A-RU
including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.

Connect to the WA1003A-RU
To configure the WAN
connection used by the WA1003A-RU it is first necessary to
communicate with the WA1003A-RU through its management
interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a
web browser. To access the management software your
computer must be able to “see” the WA1003A-RU. Your
computer can see the WA1003A-RU if it is in the same
“neighborhood” or subnet as the WA1003A-RU. This is
accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings
that place it in the same subnet as the WA1003A-RU. The
easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP
settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the
WA1003A-RU. The next section describes how to change the
IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating
system to be a DHCP client.
