Configuring the LAN IP Address
The LAN IP address identifies the LAN port (eth-0) as a node on
your network; that is, its IP address must be in the same subnet as
the PCs on your LAN.
Definition
A network node can be thought of as any interface where a
device connects to the network, such as HSA300’s LAN port and
the network interface cards on your PCs. See Appendix 0 for an
explanation of subnets..
You can change the default to reflect the set of IP addresses that
you want to use with your network.
If your network uses a local DHCP server (other than the
ADSL/Ethernet router) to assign IP addresses, you can configure
the device to accept and use a LAN IP address assigned by that
server. In this mode, the ADSL/Ethernet router is considered a
DHCP client of your DHCP server.
Note
HSA300 itself can function as a DHCP server for your LAN
computers, as described in Chapter 5, but not for its own LAN
port.
Follow these steps to change the default LAN IP address or to
configure the LAN port as a DHCP client.
1. Log into Configuration Manager, and then click the LAN tab.
