Getting Started Using FirstGear for the Model RT328 ISDN Router

Network Checklist

Networks connected through the router must be properly conﬁgured for Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking. For detailed information about conﬁguring

Windows 95 for TCP/IP, refer to

TCP/IP, refer to Chapter 1 of Reference Guide for the Model RT328 ISDN Router.

The Model RT328 router is capable of automatically assigning IP and gateway addresses to other

devices on the LAN, using the Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) feature. However,

for initial setup, at least one PC must be manually conﬁgured in order to use the FirstGear program

to access the Model RT328 router.

The TCP/IP conﬁguration requirements are:

•

The Model RT328 router and all workstations or PCs on your local area network must have

established IP addresses. These are typically assigned by your network manager or Internet

service provider (ISP), or you can assign private addresses if you are using the Network

Address Translator (NAT) feature.

•

If you are using the NAT feature, one nonprivate IP address must be assigned to the router. The

nonprivate IP address can be in the form of a permanent static address or a temporary address

that is dynamically assigned each time your router calls the remote network or ISP. This

address will not be the same as the LAN IP address for your Model RT328 router.

•

All workstations or PCs on your local network must have the LAN IP address of the

Model RT328 router deﬁned either as the default gateway or as an entry in the static routes

table.

•

The network portion (as determined by the netmask) of the IP addresses of your LAN must be

different from that of any remote networks that are connected.
