First of all, you must be clear that the equipment has a unique address in the network. The 5420G has 192.168.1.1 by
default, where the network of computers that connect each other belongs to the segment address 192.168.1.x (x represents
the rest of the equipment and peripherals in that network).
By default, the LP-5420G has the DHCP service enabled delivering addresses automatically to the equipment that connects.
The basic configuration delivers addresses from 100 to 199. The use of this service avoids the duplication of a network
number for the equipment. Since this number must be unique, you must understand its functioning in order to apply the
parental control.
In case you want to control the Internet access of the equipment, you shall know its IP Address. We recommend you to
assign fixed addresses to the equipment, but remember that each equipment in the network must have a unique IP Address.
Important note: You have to remember that your children probably have some knowledge about changing
the equipment setup. For this reason, and if you consider necessary, disable the DHCP service or limit your
children so they cannot change these options. Moreover, remember that the equipment connecting to a
wireless network is in the same group of the segment 192.168.1.x, hence an address will be assigned when
they connect if DHCP is enabled.
Therefore in our example the DHCP service will remain active and fixed addresses will be used.
Addresses:
LP-5420G: 192.168.1.1
Dad equipment: 192.168.1.2
Child 1: 192.168.1.3
Child 2: 192.168.1.4
How to assign these addresses to each
child and dad? This will depends on your
operative system. For Windows XP go to
the properties of your network device and
enter the following information, as shown
in Figure 1.
