Instructions for WEBconfig
To configure the router with WEBconfig you must know how to address it in
the LAN. The reaction of the devices, as well as their accessibility for configu-
ration via web browser is dependent on whether a DHCP server and a DNS
server are already active in the LAN, and whether these two server processes
exchange the assignment of IP addresses to symbolic names within the LAN
between each other.
After powered on, unconfigured LANCOM devices check first, whether a DHCP
server is already active in the LAN. Dependent on the situation, the device is
able to switch on its own DHCP server or, alternatively, to activate its DHCP
client mode. In this second operating mode, the device itself can obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server already existing in the LAN.

If the configuration PC does not obtain its IP address from the LANCOM DHCP
server, figure out the current IP address of this PC (with Start
cmd and command ipconfig at the prompt under Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, with Start
under Windows Me and Windows 9x, or with the command ifconfig on the
console under Linux). In this case, the LANCOM is reachable under the IP

managed from a LANCOM WLAN Controller, the DHCP mode is swit-
ched from auto-mode to client mode.
