3 Basic configuration
The basic configuration is conducted with a convenient Setup Wizard that
provides step-by-step guidance through the configuration and that requests
any necessary information.
First of all this chapter presents the information that has to be entered for the
basic configuration. This first section will help you to gather up all of the nec-
essary data before you start the Wizard.
You subsequently enter this information into the Setup Wizard. Starting the
program and the following procedure are described step by step. LANconfig
and WEBconfig each have their own description. With all of the necessary
information collected in advance, this basic configuration can now take place
quickly and in ease.
At the end of this chapter we show you the necessary settings for the work-
place computers in the LAN so that they can access the device without prob-
lem.

What details are necessary?
The Basic Settings Wizard is used to set the LANCOM VPN Routers basic TCP/
IP parameters and to protect the device with a configuration password. The
following description of the information required by the wizard is divided into
the following configuration sections:
TCP/IP settings
Protecting the configuration
Configuring toll protection
Security settings
3.1.1
TCP/IP settings
TCP/IP configuration can be performed in two different ways: Either fully auto-
matically or manually. No user input is required if TCP/IP configuration is per-
formed automatically. All parameters are set by the Setup Wizard on its own.
When manual TCP/IP configuration is performed the wizard prompts for the
usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, network mask etc. (more on this later)
The fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network
environments. For this reason the Setup Wwizard analyses the connected LAN
to see whether fully automatic configuration is possible or not.
