Network 19
TCP/IP
The LC11 is shipped preconfigured to use private IP
addresses on the WAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The
router's default WAN IP configuration is:
–
WAN IP address
: 192.168.1.1
–
Subnet mask
: 255.255.255.0
Note:
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private
address range for use in private networks, and should
be suitable in most applications. If your network has a
requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme,
you can make those changes in this menu.
–
IP Address
: This is the LAN WAN IP address of the router.
–
IP Subnet Mask
: This is the LAN WAN Subnet Mask of the
LC11 router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask
allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it,
and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
–
MAC Address
: Displays the device MAC address.
DHCP Server
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server allows
your system to acquire network configuration settings from
your ISP automatically. Click or touch to enable.
•
DHCP Address Range
: The range of IP addresses reserved for
use by LC11’s DHCP server table. If a device with a static IP
address wants to connect to LC11’s network, the static IP should
be outside of the DHCP address range. Most devices do not have
a static IP.
•
Mask
: The subnet mask network setting for LC11. The default
value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class “C”) networks. If
you change the LAN IP Address, ensure you use the correct
Subnet Mask for the IP address range containing the LAN IP
address.
•
Gateway
: Displays the default gateway address.
•
DNS Server
: Displays the primary DNS of the present connection.
