Home Networking Screen - ZyXEL Communications WX Series User Manual

8.2 Home Networking Screen

Use this screen to set the IP address and subnet mask of your WX Device. Configure DHCP settings to
have a DHCP server assign IP addresses to devices. Click Network Setting > Home Networking to open
the Home Networking screen.
Follow these steps to configure your LAN settings.
Enter an IP address into the IP Address field. The IP address must be in dotted decimal notation. This will
1
become the IP address of your WX Device.
Enter the IP subnet mask into the IP Subnet Mask field. Unless instructed otherwise it is best to leave this
2
alone, the configurator will automatically compute a subnet mask based upon the IP address you
entered.
Click Apply to save your settings.

DESCRIPTION
Select DHCP to deploy the WX Device as a DHCP client in the network. When you enable this,
the WX Device gets its IP address from the network's DHCP server (for example, your ISP or
router). Users connected to the WX Device can now access the network (for example, the
Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP or a router with Internet access). When you select this,
you cannot enter an IP address for your WX Device in the field below.
Select Static IP if you want to specify the IP address of your WX Device. Or if your ISP or network
administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet.
Enter the LAN IPv4 IP address you want to assign to your WX Device in dotted decimal notation,
for example, 192.168.1.2 (factory default).
Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example 255.255.255.0
(factory default). Your WX Device automatically computes the subnet mask based on the IP
address you enter, so do not change this field unless you are instructed to do so.
