Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl

On this screen you can change the device's Private IP address. The preset IP address is

192.168.1.1. This is the address under which the device can be reached in the local net-

work. It can be freely assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address

under which the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can be reached from outside is assigned by

Tiscali. The default Subnet mask for the local network administered by the Gigaset

SE587 WLAN dsl is 255.255.255.0.

ì If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, enter

your chosen IP address in the fields next to Local IP address.

Make sure you note which subnet mask is set when assigning the IP address. If you

are retaining the default subnet mask, the first three parts of the IP address must be

identical for all network components (including routers).

We recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This

address block is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.255.254.

ì Adjust the Subnet Mask if necessary.

The Subnet mask specifies how many address parts of the IP address must be iden-

tical for all network components (including routers).

Configuring the DHCP server

The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has a DHCP server for which the factory setting is active.

Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset

SE587 WLAN dsl.

ì To activate the DHCP server, select ON.

If the DHCP server is active, you can define the IP address range the DHCP server should

use for assigning IP addresses to the clients.

ì Select YES for Use Default Range if you want the device to assign IP addresses in

the range 1-254 (if the router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 the addresses from

192.198.1.2 - 192.198.1.254 are used).

Note:

u You can only change the last part of the subnet mask at the moment (even if fur-

ther parts are displayed as editable).

u New settings can only be made after the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has been

rebooted. If necessary reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that

is statically assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.

Note:

u If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is activated, you can configure

the network setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address automat-

ically is set up. For further information, refer to the section "Local network config-

uration" on page 36.

u If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the

PCs that use the network settings.
