Linksys EFG120 User Manual page 13

If you have not already assigned
an administrative user name and
password for the Adminstrator,
you can enter the default user
name of Administrator. There
is no password by default. Then,
you can set the Administrator's
user name and password from
the Administrator tab, under
Users. To cancel the login pro-
cedure, click the Cancel button.
After logging in, you will see the Administration tab's LAN screen, shown in
Figure 5-7. This is the default screen that appears whenever you log in to the

From the LAN screen, you will be able to configure some of the settings you
saved from the Setup Wizard. While these changes are being made, you can
click the Save button to save these changes, Cancel to clear all changes, or
Help to get further information about anything on this screen.
These fields allow you to Obtain an IP Address Automatically
IP Address
or use a Fixed IP Address. Obtain an IP Address
Automatically is the same as using the Dynamic IP Address
setting in the Setup Wizard and should be used if you already
have a DHCP server, setting IP Addresses on your network
devices. The Fixed IP Address selection is set by default. Use
this setting if there is no DHCP server on your network and
you wish the EFG120 to use one, static IP Address. With the
Fixed IP Address setting, you can also use the EFG120 as your
network's DHCP server.
When using the Fixed IP Address setting, you must enter the
IP Address, Network Mask (the same as the Subnet Mask), and
Default Gateway. The IP Address setting should contain an
unused IP Address that contains the same LAN segment as the
network on which the EFG120 is running. The Network Mask
setting must match the other devices on your network. It is set,
by default, to 255.255.255.0. If you have a router on your net-
work, enter its IP Address in the Default Gateway field.
DHCP Server The EFG120 can serve as your network's DHCP server if no
other device is functioning as a DHCP server on your network.
If you wish to use the EFG120 as a DHCP server, click the box
next to Enable DHCP Server function. Then, enter the range
of IP Addresses you wish to assign on your network. The first
three Start and Finish fields must match the EFG120's IP
Address, with the final fields ranging from 2-254. Click the
DHCP Client Table button to view the active DHCP clients.
DNS Server The DNS Server function translates Internet addresses to IP
Addresses. Enter the same IP Addresses as set on your net-
work, or recommended by your ISP. You must complete at least
one DNS Server entry if using the "E-Mail Alerts" feature on
the Status Information screen. Otherwise, the DNS entries may
be left blank. When you complete multiple fields, the first
available server will be used.
