ONFIGURATION
The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.2.1. And the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you
desire. In this guide, all the default values are used for descriptions.
Connect local PCs to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can
configure the IP address for your PC in the following two ways.

1.
Set the TCP/IP Protocol to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode
on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, refer to
Appendix A:
“Configuring the PC” on page 118
2.
Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now you can run the Ping command at the command prompt to verify the
network connection between your PC and the Router. The following
example is for Windows 2000.
Open a command prompt and type “ping 192.168.2.1”, and then press
Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the
connection between your PC and the Router has been established.
