Reference Manual for the Model DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway
Advanced Configuration 7-3
The gateway is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a
DHCP server. The gateway’s default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.

The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
• IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the gateway.
• IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the gateway. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet
Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
