Figure 11 (Example of a DHCP Relay configuration)
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP
address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the
same IP address to more than one computer and your Lynx L-210 must be on the same subnet as
all the other computers.
The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to
click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All.
4.5.2 Changing the Lynx L-210 IP address
You can change the Lynx L-210’s IP address by, clicking Setup and under LAN Setup, select
Management. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 12.
4.5.2.1 Static IP address assignment
Your Lynx L-210’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this subnet
mask will allow the Lynx L-210 to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of
users you can change the subnet mask; but remember. The DHCP server is defaulted to only give
out 255 IP addresses. Further remember that if you change your gateways’ IP address and you
have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same subnet
The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station
within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the default gateway Address. Figure 12
shows a default gateway address of 203.125.64.1 because this was the default gateway defined
when the CLIP connection was configured.
The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is
used to in conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the gateway. To access the Lynx L-
210’s web pages the user can type 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address) or type mygateway.ar7.
