Chapter 10 Access Point Mode The table below describes the labels in the screen. Table 33 Network > LAN > IP LABEL Get from DHCP Server DESCRIPTION Click this to deploy the NBG4615 as an access point in the network. When you enable this, the NBG4615 gets its IP address from the network's DHCP server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the NBG4615 can now access the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP). The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG4615. You need to reset the NBG4615 to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see Section 29.7 on page 218 for details on how to reset the NBG4615). Use Defined LAN IP Address IP Address IP Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address DNS Assignment First DNS Server Second DNS Server Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG4615 in the field below. Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG4615. Or if your ISP or network administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet. Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG4615 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG4615. Enter a Gateway IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave you one) in this field. Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the NBG4615's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns. Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose UserDefined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to UserDefined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. Apply Cancel Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it. Click Apply to save your changes to the NBG4615. Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen. NBG4615 User's Guide 79

The table below describes the labels in the screen.
Table 33
Network > LAN > IP
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Get from DHCP Server
Click this to deploy the NBG4615 as an access point in the network.
When you enable this, the NBG4615 gets its IP address from the
network’s DHCP server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the
NBG4615 can now access the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address
is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP
address assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG4615. You need to reset
the NBG4615 to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see
Section 29.7 on page 218
for details on how to reset the NBG4615).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your
NBG4615 in the field below.
Use Defined LAN IP
Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG4615. Or if your
ISP or network administrator gave you a static IP address to access the
network or the Internet.
IP Address
Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is
192.168.1.2. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again
with the new IP address.
IP Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.
Your NBG4615 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the
IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use
the subnet mask computed by the NBG4615.
Gateway IP Address
Enter a
Gateway IP Address
(if your ISP or network administrator gave
you one) in this field.
DNS Assignment
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the NBG4615's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the
(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-
Defined
, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes
to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-
Defined
, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in
order to access it.
