Public IP Netmask: the network mask for the public network address on
your LAN.
Private IP Address: the private IP address for the LAN interface on the A
cerRouter 700. The default private IP address is 192.168.168.230. If you
want to create your own private network through other AcerRouters with
remote offices, you need to make sure that each AcerRouter 700on each
LAN is assigned a unique private IP network address.
However, please note that once you change the private IP address (such as
from the default of 192.168.168.230 to 192.168.167.230) either from the
browser or through a telnet session (which is based on the IP address), the
device from which you operate will no longer be able to communicate
with your AcerRouter. To reconnect, you need to restart your device. This
is so that your device will re-acquire the IP address from the AcerRouter
based on the new private IP address, and then your device can again
communcaite with your AcerRouter. For the same reason, all devices on
the LAN need to be restarted before they can access the Internet again.
Private IP Netmask: the network mask for your private network. Its valu
e is 255.255.255.0, and cannot be changed.
When a AcerRouter connects to the ISP, it will automatically be assigned
the IP address for a primary Domain Name Server (DNS) , as well as the
IP address for a secondary DNS. Alternatively, the user can decide that the
y want to assign their own DNS IP addresses.
Primary DNS IP Address: the IP address of the primary Domain Name S
erver (DNS). If properly configured, when a device reboots and acquires
the IP address from the AcerRouter, the IP addresses of both the primary
and the secondary DNS server will be provided to requesting client
workstations.
Secondary DNS IP Address: the IP address of the secondary domain n
ame server.
DHCP: this enables or disables the AcerRouter’s Dynamic Host Configu
ration Protocol (DHCP) feature. If you want the AcerRouter 700 to act as
a DHCP server and assigns private IP addresses to any requesting DHCP
client, make sure DHCP is enabled. When enabled, the AcerRouter 700
will provide an IP address, network mask, gateway address (the AcerRou
ter 700’s private IP address), and DNS addresses to any workstations on
the local area network that are configured as a DHCP client.
