LAN Interface Setup page
LAN (Local Area Network) is the collection
of phones, PCs, and other equipment that you
connect to the BSGX4e ports 1–4. These are
referred to as “LAN devices.”
z
LAN Interface
This is the address of the switch that drives
ports 1–4. When a LAN device sends data to
the BSGX4e, it is sending to this address.
The default IP address and mask are
automatically filled in. Unless you have
professional advice to the contrary, use the
default settings.
z
DHCP Server for LAN devices
The BSGX4e has a DHCP server that provides IP addresses to the LAN devices. Each device
receives a unique address. When the BSGX4e sends data to a LAN device, it is sending to
this address.
The DHCP server is enabled and configured by default.
Unless you have professional advice to the contrary, use the default settings.
CAUTION:
If you change the IP address, the connection with your PC ceases.
You must repeat
and enter the new address into the browser,
and you may need to re-configure the DHCP server and change the address in
your PC. Seek professional advice for this procedure.
