ባ In order for a device to be able to assign addresses to other devices on a TCP/IP
network, it first needs an IP address valid in the LAN itself (LAN-IP address). Click
the entry in the device list to open the configuration dialog. If an entry doesn't exist
yet, create a new one using Device ̈ New. For the IP address, enter '10.0.0.254'
or 'x.x.x.254', in which 'x.x.x' stands for the addresses previously in use in your
network, if applicable. Switch to the 'TCP/IP' configuration section and on the
'General' tab, enter the LAN IP address and the associated netmask.
– If you have not used any IP addresses on your network so far, you can assign any
address you like from the address space reserved for private use, e.g. '10.0.0.1'
with the subnet mask '255.255.255.0'. You are thereby also defining the address
space that the DHCP server will use for the other devices on the network.
– If you have already configured IP addresses on the computers on the LAN,
allocate a free address to the device from the address space you used previously.
ቤ On the 'Router' tab, enable the 'IP Router' option.
ብ On the 'Masquerading' tab, enable the 'IP Masquerading' function. This will conceal
the IP addresses in use in your local network from the Internet. This protects your
network from intruders and avoids conflicts with other networks that may be using
the same addresses internally (also see IP addressing and IP masquerading).
ቦ Go to the 'DHCP' tab and set the DHCP server to Auto mode. This lets the unit handle
the local IP address administration by itself. The
ELSA MicroLink Cable
determines
the valid address pool by itself unless you specify otherwise.
