Change the LAN TCP/IP Settings
The cradle is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a
DHCP server. The cradle’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
•
LAN IP address
. 192.168.1.1
•
Subnet mask
. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing
scheme, you can change these settings.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or more
devices on the network use, or if competing subnets on your network use the same IP
scheme.
To change the LAN TCP/IP settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
Smart Cradle.
2.
In the address field of the browser, enter
http://netgear.cradle
or
