Step 7b – Automatic LAN configuration using an existing
DHCP server
If you chose the Obtain LAN IP address from a DHCP server on LAN
option, we strongly recommend that you add a lease to your existing
DHCP server to reserve the IP address you chose for the SG unit's LAN
connection.
If you chose to set the SG unit's LAN connection settings using Manual
configuration, remove this address from the pool of available
addresses, then:
1 Enter this same IP address as the gateway IP address for the
existing DHCP server to hand out.
2 Enter this same IP address as the DNS server IP address for the
DHCP server to hand out.
Ensure all PCs on the network are set up to automatically obtain
network configuration as per “Step 7a – Automatic LAN configuration
using the SG DHCP server” on page 17, then restart them.
Note: The purpose of restarting the computers is to force an update of
their automatically configured network settings. Alternatively, you can
disable and re-enable the network connection.
