Options related to:

SELECTING THE WR850 LOCAL AREA NETWORK PROTOCOL

Field Description

MAC Address:

(DISPLAY ONLY)

Shows the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the WR850 LAN

connections. This is the physical address of these LAN connections.

Protocol:

(ADVANCED)

Sets the method by which an IP address is assigned to the WR850’s

LAN connections.

Selecting

Static requires that a unique and permanent IP

address be assigned, in the IP Address field just below.

Selecting

DHCP assumes that a Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol server is on your LAN and can assign the WR850

an IP address. You will want to disable the WR850 DHCP

server below.

NOTE: If Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to Router, this field

is set to Static (and you will not be able to select DHCP).

FACTORY DEFAULT:

Static

IP Address:

(ADVANCED)

Sets the IP address for the WR850 LAN connections, when the
Protocol

field is set to Static.

NOTE: Changing this IP Address will change the address at which you

access the Web-based Configuration Utility.

NOTE: Changing this IP Address should be coordinated with the IP

addresses you assign to devices that will connect to the WR850.

NOTE: If Protocol (above) is set to DHCP, this field will be greyed out,

and any data entered will not be used.

FACTORY DEFAULT:

192.168.10.1

Subnet Mask:

(ADVANCED)

Sets the subnet mask for the WR850 LAN connections, when the
Protocol

field is set to Static. The subnet mask is used to divide your

LAN into multiple “subnets.”

NOTE: If Protocol (above) is set to DHCP, this field will be greyed out,

and any data entered will not be used.

FACTORY DEFAULT:

255.255.255.0
