5 Router Setup

This chapter describes how to configure the basic settings for your

router so that the computers on your LAN can communicate with

each other and have access to the Internet. Network setup consists

of LAN and WAN configurations.

5.1

LAN Configuration

5.1.1 LAN IP Address

If you are using RX3042H with multiple PCs on your LAN, you

must connect your LAN to the Ethernet ports on the built-in

Ethernet switch. You must assign a unique IP address to each

device residing on your LAN. The LAN IP address that identifies

the RX3042H as a node on your network must be in the same

subnet as the PCs on your LAN. The default LAN IP address for the

RX3042H is 192.168.1.1.

Definition: A network node can be thought of as any

interface where a device connects to the network,

such as the RX3042Hʼs LAN port and the network

interface cards on your PCs. See Appendix 11 for an

explanation of subnets.

You can change the default IP address to reflect the true IP address

that you want to use with your network.

5.1.2 LAN Configuration Parameters

Table 5.1 describes the configuration parameters available for LAN

IP configuration.
