Configuring LAN IP Settings
The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as the IP address of the
gateway and DHCP. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu
in the LAN IP menu.
LAN IP Setup
The gateway is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a
DHCP server. The gateway’s default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
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.
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
• LAN IP Address
This is the IP address of the gateway.
• Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the gateway. Combined with the IP address, the Subnet Mask
allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the gateway while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP
address and log in again.
