Configuring a computer for a static IP address
If it is desired or necessary for a computer to have a fixed or permanent IP address, the computer
should be configured for a
static IP address . For more information about IP addresses, see
Understanding the router address and computer address on page 53.
To configure the computer to use a static IP address, you manually enter the following
information:
• IP address. You need a valid IP address for the computer. If the computer is part of a LAN,
each computer on the LAN must have its own unique address.
• Subnet Mask. This is the subnet mask assigned to your satellite router. You should have
recorded this information in your Quick Start Guide during the registration process. You
can also obtain it from the System Information page of the System Control Center.
• Default Gateway. This is the IP address of the satellite router. You should have recorded
this information in your Quick Start Guide during the registration process. You can also
obtain it from the System Information page of the System Control Center.
