Assign Static IP to the Device
If you choose to assign the IP address manually, enable the checkbox of “Assign static IP
to this device” and then fill in the following fields
„ IP Address and IP Subnet Mask: Default values are 192.168.1.1 and
255.255.255.0 respectively. It is important to note that there are similar addresses
falling in the standard private IP address range and it is an essential security
feature of the device. Because of this private IP address, the device can no longer
be accessed (seen) from the Internet.
„ Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of your default gateway.
„ DNS Server: The Domain Name System (DNS) is a server on the Internet that
translates logical names such as “www.yahoo.com” to IP addresses like
66.218.71.80. In order to do this, a query is made by the requesting device to a
DNS server to provide the necessary information. If your system administrator
requires you to manually enter the DNS Server addresses, you should enter them
here.
