1.8.3.2. Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection
Fig. 13. TCP/IP settings for Router with a DHCP-Based
DSL/Cable Connection mode.
If the SMCWHSG44-G is set to be in 'Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable
Connection 'mode, two IP addresses are needed-one for the Ethernet LAN
interface and the other for the WAN interface. The LAN IP address must be
set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.2.xxx. The default LAN IP
address is 192.168.2.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In
most cases, these default settings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained by DHCP from the ISP. The Trigger
mode setting affects the behavior of the DHCP client of the Router. In Auto
mode, you don't have to worry about the DHCP process; the device takes
care of everything. In Manual mode, there are two buttons on the Start page
for you to manually release an obtained IP address (Release) and re-obtain a
new one from a DHCP server (Renew).
