Ethernet 1 (LAN)
In this panel, the network associated with the communication gateway local area network
(LAN) is dened for management devices connecting to physical Ethernet Port 1. See
Figure 14. As noted earlier, the communication gateway ships with a default IP address
of 192.168.1.1, a NetMask equal to 255.255.255.0, and DHCP set to “On.” To modify these
values for the communication gateway LAN, the elds that require identication are the
Static IP Address, NetMask, and DHCP Server.
Note: The DHCP toggle button either enables or disables dynamic host control proto-
col (DHCP) services on physical Ethernet Port 1.
Figure 14. The Ethernet 1 (LAN) panel.
The fields required within this panel are determined by the DHCP button toggled to
the On or Off positions. With DHCP in the Off position, management devices connected
to communication gateway’s physical Port 1 must be configured with a static IP address
that resides in the communication gateway’s LAN IP range identified by the NetMask
setting in the previous field.
