for example '10.0.0.1' with a network mask of '255.255.255.0'). If you
do this you simultaneously specify the address range that the DHCP server
will subsequently use for the other devices in the network (provided the
DHCP server is activated).
Required information for manual TCP/IP configuration
When performing manual TCP/IP configuration the Setup Wwizard prompts
you for the following information:
DHCP mode of operation
Off: The IP addresses required must be entered manually.
Server: The L-300 Access Point operates as DHCP server in the net-
work; as a minimum its own IP address and the network mask must
be assigned.
Client: The L-300 Access Point obtains its address information from
another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the L-
300 Access Point
Assign the L-300 Access Point a free IP address from your LAN's address
range and enter the network mask.
Gateway address
Enter the gateway's IP address if you have selected 'Off' as the DHCP
mode of operation or if another network device is assuming the role of
gateway in the 'Server' mode of operation.
DNS server
Enter the IP address of a DNS server to resolve domain names if you have
selected 'Off' as the DHCP mode of operation or if another network device
is assuming the role of DNS server in the 'Server' mode of operation.
3.1.2
Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the L-300 Access Point's configuration
and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's configuration con-
tains a great deal of sensitive data such as data for Internet access and should
be protected by a password in all cases.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with different access rights. Up to 16 different admi-
nistrators can be set up for a L-300 Access Point. Further information
can be found in the LCOS reference manual under “Managing rights
for different administrators”.
