LAN IP address Moxa Internet Sharer is pre-configured for installation on a network that is not set up for TCP/IP. It uses a range of private IP addresses in a range from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254. The Internet Sharer address is pre-configured as 192.168.10.1. If you already have an existing LAN and you would like to keep your IP addressing policy, you may change the Internet Sharer IP to fit to your addressing policy. Be aware that the network mask has to be 255.255.255.0.
Admin Password To protect the information set to the Internet Sharer, an administrator password is provided. After setup the password, you will be asked to input your password each time you request to make any changes to the Internet Sharer. 4 Note : As an administrator of your LAN, you must write down the password and keep it at a safe place once you setup the password. Forgotten of the password will cause trouble of not being able to re-configure the Internet Sharer.
DHCP Internet Sharer automatically enables Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) to provide automatic IP address assignment to your local computers. It makes it easier to setup and manage the computers on your network. This DHCP setup is used to change your DHCP settings, to limit the range of IP addresses used for the DHCP server. Internet Sharer can provide 253 nodes for your local computers. You may set a specific range to reserve for some machines which has static IP address on your LAN if needed.
If you like to reserve an IP address for some specific server on your LAN, you may remove the unwanted range and add the range of available IP addresses. For instance, if you have a printer at address 192.168.10.5 and another server at 192.168.10.6, you may set the range as from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.4, and another range at 192.168.10.7 4 Note : You may disable the DHCP.
