ZyAIR G-405 User's Guide Figure 3-3 Navigator: Edit 3.5.1 Removing Devices To remove a selected device or all devices from the device list panel, click Edit, Delete or Delete All. 3.5.2 Searching Your ZyAIR To search for a ZyAIR in your network, click Edit, Search in the Navigator. 3.6 Factory Ethernet Defaults The Ethernet parameters of the ZyAIR are preset in the factory with the following values: • IP address of 192.168.1.11 • Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) These parameters should work for the majority of installations. 3.6.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one common network number. Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask. If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.11, for your ZyAIR, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The ZyAIR Wireless Navigator 3-3
