LAN Screens
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
6.1 LAN Overview
Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. The
LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses, and partition your physical
network into logical networks.
6.2 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable
it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP
service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be
manually configured.
6.2.1 IP Pool Setup
The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64.
This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the lower range for other server
computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.
6.2.2 System DNS Servers
Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter.
6.3 LAN TCP/IP
The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
6.3.1 Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
