Siemens Gigaset WLAN Operating Instructions Manual page 89

Advanced Setup
Please remember:
u
The address block you enter must not overlap with those of DHCP servers in your
network or static address of devices connected to your network. Otherwise there
might be IP address conflicts if the same IP address is assigned to several devices
in your network. This can impair or block the reachability of some or all of the
devices in your network.
u
The first three fields of the first and last IP address must always be identical to the
first three fields of your Gigaset WLAN Repeater's IP address, as the subnet mask
is always 255.255.255.x. This means that the first three address segments for all
network components must be identical.
u
The default setting of start and end IP address permits the assigning of addresses
for 11 PCs. If your network has more than 11 devices, you will have to extend the
address block.
ì
In Default gateway, Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server enter the
data required for connecting to the Internet. As a rule, you can enter for Default
gateway and Preferred DNS server the IP address of the router in your network
that sets up the connection to the Internet for all the PCs in the network. An entry in
Alternate DNS server is normally optional. For further information, please turn to
the appropriate chapter in the operating instructions for your router.
ì
In Domain name you can specify a domain name in the local network.
ì
Click on OK to apply the settings.
ì
You should restart all the devices once all the configuration settings have been
made.
Please remember:
If you operate the Gigaset WLAN Repeater in Access point mode and the integrated
DHCP server has been activated, configure the network settings for the connected PCs
so that the Obtain an IP address automatically option is activated. To find out how to
do this, please read Section "Assigning IP addresses automatically" on page 24. If you
deactivate the Gigaset WLAN Repeater's DHCP server, you will have to assign a static
IP address for the PCs via the network settings unless there is another DHCP server on
the network. This is described on page 32.
