MN-700 Base Station Configuration Guide 7
Local Area Network
The Local Area Network (LAN) settings relate to your local network—that is, how the base station is configured in
relation to the devices on your network. In contrast, the Wide Area Network (WAN) settings determine how your
base station is configured in relation to the Internet. In some cases, your base station will have two different values
for the same type of setting, such as IP address. This is because one value is the WAN IP address and one value is
the LAN IP address. Typically, you can modify the base station LAN settings, but you cannot modify most WAN
settings, because they are provided by your ISP.
The following table describes the LAN settings and how to modify them.
Setting Description Notes
Local IP address The default IP address of your
base station is 192.168.2.1.
You can change the local IP address on the Local Area Network page of
the Base Station Management Tool, but this is not recommended,
unless you are setting the base station to access point mode.
Subnet mask The subnet mask for your local
network is 255.255.255.0.
You cannot change the subnet mask of your LAN.
DHCP server Appears as Enabled or Disabled. You can change this setting on the Local Area Network page of the
Base Station Management Tool.
DHCP Client List
When the DHCP server is enabled on your base station, each device on your network leases an IP address for a
specified period of time. The DHCP client list shows all the devices that have an active lease on an IP address,
including the IP address and MAC address of each device. If you reset the base station, only those devices that
request or renew an IP address after the reset will appear in this list.
You can specify the IP address lease time from the Local Area Network page of the Base Station Management
Tool. For more information, see “Local Area Network Settings.”
The DHCP client list is relevant to your network only if you have the DHCP server enabled on the base station. For
more information, see “DHCP Server and IP Address Range.”
Base Station Information
You can view current information about your base station under Base Station Information. The following table
describes the base station information.
