CHAPTER 5
LAN Setting
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes how you can configure the management IP address of your NWA.
The Internet Protocol (IP) address identifies a device on a network. Every networking device
(including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across
the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
Figure 23 IP Setup
The figure above illustrates one possible setup of your NWA. The gateway IP address is 192.168.1.1
and the IP address of the NWA is 192.168.1.2 (default). The gateway and the NWA must belong in
the same subnet mask to be able to communicate with each other.
5.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
The LAN Setting screen (Section 5.2 on page 52) configures the NWA’s LAN IP address and VLAN
settings.
