10 ASUS SL1200
Assigning static IP addresses to your PCs
In some cases, you may want to assign IP addresses to some or all of
your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the ASUS
SL1200 to assign them. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:
• You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want
to always associate with specic computers (for example, if you are
using a computer as a public web server).
• You maintain different subnets on your LAN.
However, during the rst time conguration of your router, you must
assign an IP address in the 192.168.1.0 network for your PC, such
as 192.168.1.2. This is in order to establish connection between
the router and your PC as the default LAN IP on the router is pre-
congured as 192.168.1.1. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask
and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway. These settings may be
changed later to reect your true network environment.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the
instructions on pages 6 to 9 relating only to checking for and installing
the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions
for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the
computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons
that enable you to enter the information manually.
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the
same subnet as the Internet Security Router’s LAN port. If
you want to manually assign IP information to all your LAN
PCs, you can follow the instructions in Conguring the
LAN IP Address.
Conguring the LAN IP Address
To change the default LAN IP address
1. Log into the Configuration Manager as administrator, and then click
LAN -> IP. The IP Address conguration page is displayed as shown in
Figure 2.
