Use the LAN link on the main menu to reach the LAN screen. An example screen is shown
below.
You can specify the LAN segment’s IP address, subnet Mask,enable/disable DHCP and
select an IP range for your LAN, you also can check DHCP client list in here.
TCP/IP
IP Address
Parameter Description
This is the XRT-501’s LAN port IP address, and your
LAN clients default gateway IP address. (For XRT-501’s default
LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1)
24
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class
"C") networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the
LAN segment to which the XRT-501 is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server If Enabled, the XRT-501 will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN automatically when they start
up.The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must
be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be
re-configured to treat the XRT-501 as the default Gateway.
See thefollowing section for further details.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the
values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses
to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of
DHCP clients supported.See the following section for further
details on using DHCP.
Buttons
Save Save the data on screen.
Cancel The "Cancel" button will discard any data you have
entered and reload the file from the XRT-501.
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
The XRT-501 can act as a DHCP server.
Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP
client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However,
Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP
Client".
You must NOT have two or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If
your LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one DHCP
Server on your LAN.)
25
Using the XRT-501's DHCP Ser ver
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this
screen, you can:
Enable or Disable the XRT-501's DHCP Server function.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP,
Note
provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the
DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the XRT-501's, the following procedure is required.
Disable the DHCP Server feature in the XRT-501. This setting is on the LAN
screen.
Configure the DHCP Server to provide the XRT-501's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 98/Me, 2000 or later operating
systems.See 1.6 Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.
2.3 Password
The Password settings function allows you to design password to the XRT-501.
