If you type in an invalid port number, the error message “PORT NUMBER IS OUT OF RANGE”

network connection.

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the ADDRESS option.
2. Type in the IP address and then press ENTER.
Once an IP address is entered, the default Subnet Mask automatically enters into the Mask field. To

Selecting the Frame Type for a Port
On each port, Frame Type specifies the format of the frame in which IP packets are encapsulated
for transmission. The Frame Type options available for each router port are dependent on the type
of media supported by that router port.
To select the Frame Type for a port, complete the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Framing option.
2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to the correct Frame Type for the port.

the screen to scroll through the list of the ports on your device. To use the + PORT -
option, use the arrow keys to highlight the + (to go forward), or the - (to go backward),
and then press ENTER to scroll through the available ports in the direction you have
selected. You can also use the + and - keys to scroll through the available ports.
