Server: The LANCOM Wireless Router operates as DHCP server in the
network; as a minimum its own IP address and the network mask
must be assigned.
Client: The LANCOM Wireless Router obtains its address information
from another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the LANCOM Wireless Router
Assign the LANCOM Wireless Router a free IP address from your LAN's
address range and enter the network mask.
Gateway address
Enter the gateway's IP address if you have selected 'Off' as the DHCP
mode of operation or if another network device is assuming the role of
gateway in the 'Server' mode of operation.
DNS server
Enter the IP address of a DNS server to resolve domain names if you have
selected 'Off' as the DHCP mode of operation or if another network device
is assuming the role of DNS server in the 'Server' mode of operation.

Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the LANCOM Wireless Router's configu-
ration and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's configura-
tion contains a great deal of sensitive data such as data for Internet access
and should be protected by a password in all cases.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with different access rights. Up to 16 different admi-
nistrators can be set up for a LANCOM Wireless Router. Further infor-
mation can be found in the LCOS reference manual under “Managing
rights for different administrators”.
In the managed mode the LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM
Access Points automatically receive the same root password as the
WLAN-Controller, assuming that no root password has been set in the
device itself.
