Wizard Page 2: LAN Setting
This page is about the select of Static IP or DHCP ON.
LAN: You can configure this ICA-530 to obtain its address automatically or manually assign. If
there is a DHCP server in your network environment and you select "DHCP ON", ICA-530 can
automatically obtain an IP address. If you don't have DHCP server or you want to use fixed IP
address, please select "Static IP" and fill in the following fields with proper parameters.
IP Address: IP address is a unique number for identifies this device on the WAN or LAN. These
numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the
network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance
network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet
masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a
very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will
usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Def. Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between
networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when you're
transient email between different servers.
DNS1: When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as xxxxx.com, the
domain name system translates the names into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the
conventions for naming hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.
DNS2: The same function as DNS1. It is optional, not necessary
Note: If no IP address is assigned after 30 seconds, the ICA-530 will work with its default IP
address 192.168.0.20. User may now open your web browser, and key in http://192.168.0.20 in
the address bar of your web browser to logon ICA-530's web configuration page.
