Network Setup
The Network Settings page has many fields but at this stage for a basic LAN connectivity test, only the Network
Details section is required.
This section assumes a network connection via LAN and the
IP address configured using RF500A-CONFIG as
opposed to using a cross-over cable and the RF500A default IP address of 192.168.25.220.
Click the
Administration button then the Setup Network button to show the Network Details page.
Network Details
Your IT Department usually provides the following information in order to set up your Gateway for Network Access:
• Static IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• DNS Server
Enter these using dotted decimal notation into their respective fields. If access from different subnets is required also
enter the Network gateway IP address. Users who implement MAC address access security will find the MAC address
of the LAN interface displayed in this screen.
Static IP Address The IP address which has been allocated to the Gateway. E.g. 192.168.25.217
Net mask The subnet mask associated with the above IP address. E.g. 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway The IP address of the network gateway to allow access by users on a different subnet
DNS No The IP address of your LAN Name Server
1. Double-check the Static IP Address entered because any entry mistake here can cause problems connecting
after settings are saved.
2. To save changes, enter your password and click the Save button. The Gateway may automatically reset after
this step.
3. Wait until the Gateway has successfully reset. See “Gateway Reset” {Page 11} for details.
4. Verify that a connection can be made to the Gateway by following the steps in “Viewing the Gateway Login
Page” {Page 19}.
