LAN - LAN Setup

Set up the LAN configuration of the Prestige.

LabelDescription
DHCP (refer to your User's Guide for background information)
DHCP

If set to Server, your Prestige can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client.

If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled.

If set to Relay, the Prestige acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.

When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:

Client IP Pool Starting Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Size of Client IP Pool
This field specifies the size or count of the IP address pool.
Primary DNS Server
Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Secondary DNS Server
As above.
Remote DHCP Server
If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above then enter the IP address of the actual remote DHCP server here.
TCP/IP (refer to your User's Guide for background information)
IP Address
Enter the IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
IP Subnet Mask
Your Prestige will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the Prestige.
RIP Direction
Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only.
RIP Version
Select the RIP version from RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-2M.
Multicast
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it.
Any IP Setup

Select this check box to activate the Any IP feature. This allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.

When you disable the Any IP feature, only computers with dynamic IP addresses or static IP addresses in the same subnet as the Prestige's LAN IP address can connect to the Prestige or access the Internet through the Prestige.
