5.1.1 LAN Interface
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design
of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.
This part allows you to configure the parameters for LAN which connects to the LAN port of
your Access Point.
IP Address:
This is the IP addresses to be represented by the LAN (including WLAN)
interface that is connected to the internal network. This IP will be used for the routing of the
internal network (it will be the Gateway IP for all the devices connected on the internal
network).
Subnet Mask:
This is used to define the device IP classification for the chosen IP address
range. 255.255.255.0 is a typical netmask value for Class C networks which support IP
address range from 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x. Class C network netmask uses 24 bits to
identify the network and 8 bits to identify the host.
DHCP:
You can disable or enable this function here.
DHCP Client Range:
the range of IP addresses that will be assigned to each computer
Note: If this IP address changed, you can log into the WEB configuration interface only using the new
IP address. AND if the new IP address and the original IP address are not in the same segment, the
Virtual Server and DMZ Host service will not work. If you need to enable these functions, you will have
to reset this IP address.
