CHAPTER 7 LAN This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings. 7.1 LAN Overview A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. Use the LAN screen to configure the PLA450's IP address to be on your network. 7.1.1 Factory LAN Defaults The LAN parameters of the PLA450 are preset in the factory with the following values: • IP address of 192.168.1.2 • subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) 7.1.2 IP Address Every computer on your network must have a unique IP address. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks. Table 21 Private IP Address Ranges 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 The PLA450's IP address can be assigned manually (a static or 'fixed' IP address) or by a DHCP server on your network. " Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space. PLA450 User's Guide 81
