LAN Screens

4.1 LAN, WAN and the LAN-Cell

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.

A network is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached.

The Local Area Network (LAN) includes the computers and networking devices in your home

or office that you connect to the LAN-Cell’s LAN ports.

The Wide Area Network (WAN) is another network (most likely the Internet) that you connect

to the LAN-Cell’s WAN port. See Chapter 5 on page 89 for how to use the WAN screens to

set up your WAN connection.

The LAN and the WAN are two separate networks. The LAN-Cell controls the traffic that

goes between them. The following graphic gives an example.

4.1.1 What You Can Do in The LAN Screens

• Use the LAN screen (Section 4.2 on page 80) to configure TCP/IP, DHCP, IP/MAC

binding and NetBIOS settings on the LAN.

• Use the Static DHCP screen (Section 4.3 on page 83) to configure the IP addresses

assigned to devices in the LAN by DHCP.

• Use the IP Alias screen (Section 4.4 on page 84) to configure IP alias settings on the

ZLAN-Cell’s LAN ports.

• Use the Port Roles screen (Section 4.5 on page 86) to configure LAN ports on the LAN-

Cell.
