Configuring Your Cayman 2E-H-W
3-18
1. Enter the IP address of the Cayman 2E-H-W's LAN
Ethernet interface in the Local Address field.
The IP address you assign to your Cayman 2E-H-W'S LAN
interface must not be used by another device on your LAN
network. The IP address you assign the Cayman 2E-H-W LAN
interface does not correspond to the IP address associated with
any of the device's hub ports.
2. Enter the subnet mask for the network connected to the
LAN Ethernet interface in the Net Mask field.
The subnet mask specifies which bits of the 32-bit binary IP
address represent network information. Most sites should use
255.255.255.0 for their subnet mask.
If you have turned on Expert Mode on the Cayman 2E-H-W Home
window, you will see a set of DHCP fields on the Ethernet Port
Configuration (LAN) window. If you did not turn on Expert Mode,
you can skip to Step 8, below.
If you use the Cayman 2E-H-W as a DHCP server, you should
assign IP addresses outside the DHCP address range to
devices requiring static IP addresses. Before the Cayman
2E-H-W assigns an IP address to a DHCP client, it verifies
that no other device is using that address. However, network
conflicts can result when the Cayman 2E-H-W assigns an
address in its DHCP range to one device and then another
device configured to use that address is turned on.
3. Use the DHCP Mode buttons to specify whether you want
your Cayman 2E-H-W to act as a DHCP server or DHCP
relay agent for other devices on your local area
network.
Options are:
Off – Disable DHCP server functions in the Cayman 2E-H-W.
Server – Cayman 2E-H-W uses DHCP to provide network
configuration information to hosts on the Local Area
Network. Server is the default setting.
