You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in
Appendix B).
Before you begin, you must have the following information available:
The IP address and subnet mask of each PC
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the
address assigned to the LAN port on the
device. By default, the LAN port is
assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number or another
number can be assigned by your ISP.)
The IP address of your ISP‘s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions relating
only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the
instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of
enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server and default
gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.
Note
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the
device
’s LAN port.
