3 Basic configuration

The basic configuration can be performed on a step-by-step basis using a
convenient setup wizard to guide you through the setup process and prompt
you for the required information.
First, this chapter will tell you which information is required for the basic con-
figuration. Use this section to assemble the information you will need before
you launch the wizard.
Next, enter the data in the setup wizard. Launching the wizard and the pro-
cess itself are described step by step — with separate sections for LANconfig
and WEBconfig. Thanks to the information that you have collected in advance,
the basic configuration is quick and effortless.
At the end of this chapter we will show you the settings that are needed for
the LAN's workstations to ensure trouble-free access to the device.
3.1 Which information is necessary?
The basic configuration wizard will take care of the basic TCP/IP configuration
of the device and protect the device with a configuration password. The fol-
lowing descriptions of the information required by the wizard are grouped in
these configuration sections:
3.1.1 TCP/IP settings
The TCP/IP configuration can be realized in two ways: either as a fully auto-
matic configuration or manually. No user input is required for the fully auto-
matic TCP/IP configuration. All parameters are set automatically by the setup
wizard. During manual TCP/IP configuration, the wizard will prompt you for
the usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, netmask etc. (more on these topics
later).
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network envi-
ronments. The setup wizard therefore analyses the connected LAN to deter-
mine whether it supports fully automatic configuration.
