5.1

How to configure the Ethernet IP address

This facility is available by clicking on the "Internet Settings" menu followed by "LAN" and then the "IP Setup" menu item on the right.
The default IP of the Ethernet port is 192.168.20.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
If you wish to change this then simply enter the new IP address and click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.
Since the IP address has changed you will have to re-enter the new IP address configured in your browser to access the
configuration pages.
5.2

How to configure DNS Masquerading

DNS masquerading allows the router to forward DNS requests to dynamically assigned DNS servers. Clients on the router's LAN can then
use the router as a DNS server without needing to know of the dynamically assigned DNS servers assigned by the cellular network.
There should be no need to disable this feature in most cases, however, if you need to do so simply select "Disable" and click Save.
5.3

How to configure the DHCP Server

Use the following procedure to change the router's DHCP server default settings. Ensure your PC's Ethernet connector is configured to
automatically obtain an IP and DNS server address.
When you plug in the Ethernet cable to your PC, the router should automatically assign it an IP address within 10-15 seconds. Please be
aware that you will be sharing the bandwidth of the router between all connected devices. You can manually set DNS1 and DNS2 or if DNS
Masquerade is enabled the DHCP DNS1 address will automatically be set to the router's LAN address.
This example has a start address of 100, an end address of 199, lease time of 86,400 seconds, and uses the DNS servers that are auto-
assigned by the network upon connection.
If you do not enter the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses manually, then to browse the Internet from your Ethernet connected device you must
enable DNS Masquerade (see above).
Upon enabling DNS Masquerade, you will notice that the DNS1 address is automatically set to the IP address of the Ethernet port. DNS
addresses are then automatically assigned by the connection to the network.
