Router Connection Setup
This chapter describes how to configure the basic settings for your router so that the computers on your LAN
can communicate with each other and have access to the Internet. Network setup consists of LAN and WAN
configurations.
5.1
LAN Configuration
5.1.1
LAN IP Address
If you are using RX3141 with multiple PCs on your LAN, you must connect your LAN to the Ethernet ports on
the built-in Ethernet switch. You must assign a unique IP address to each device residing on your LAN. The
LAN IP address that identifies the RX3141 as a node on your network must be in the same subnet as the PCs
on your LAN. The default LAN IP address for the RX3141 is 192.168.1.1.
Definition
You can change the default IP address to reflect the true IP address that you want to use with your network.
5.1.2
LAN Configuration Parameters
Table 5.1 describes the configuration parameters available for LAN IP configuration.
Setting
Host Name
IP Address
Subnet Mask
A network node can be thought of as any interface where a
device connects to the network, such as the RX3141's LAN port
and the network interface cards on your PCs. See Appendix 12 for
an explanation of subnets.
Table 5.1. LAN Configuration Parameters
Description
For identification only.
The LAN IP address of the RX3141. This IP address is used by your
computers to identify the RX3141's LAN port. Note that the public IP address
assigned to you by your ISP is not your LAN IP address. The public IP
address identifies the WAN port on the RX3141 to the Internet.
The LAN subnet mask identifies which parts of the LAN IP Address refer to
your network as a whole and which parts refer specifically to nodes on the
network. Your device is preconfigured with a default subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
