LAN Port Settings
Once the WAN port settings are complete, press next to get to the Local Area Network (LAN) Port Settings page. At
default the LAN IP Address is set to 192.168.10.1 and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is enabled.
The X-50 system is a gateway, which joins two or more different
types of networks together, such as WAN, LAN and PSTN. If the
X-50 system is connected to the ISP through a bridge to allow for
connecting to external devices. The LAN Address will be set to
192.168.10.1 and it is set to be the network’s DHCP Server.
However, if the X-50 is only using email delivery and remote
programming then the WAN port can be set to join
as a node or client on the existing Local Area
Network.
When connecting the WAN port of the X-50 to an
existing LAN, the LAN port of the X-50 must be
given a different IP address such as
(192.168.100.1). The LAN of the X-50 is then
considered “Down Stream” from the existing LAN.
When establishing any network numbering plan,
do not use the IP address x.x.x.254 becasue this
address is reservered for the system’s DSP and
will cause erratic operation.
