Wireless Controller
can be assigned IP addresses, the default gateway, as well as addresses for DNS servers,
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers. The PCs in the LAN are assigned IP
addresses from a pool of addresses specified in this procedure. Each pool address is
tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings are satisfactory. If you
want another PC on your network to be the DHCP server or if you a re manually
configuring the network settings of all of your PCs, set the DHCP mode to 'none'.
DHCP relay can be used to forward DHCP lease information from another LAN device
that is the network's DHCP server; this is particularly useful for wireless clien ts.
Instead of using a DNS server, you can use a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
server. A WINS server is the equivalent of a DNS server but uses the NetBIOS protocol
to resolve hostnames. The controller includes the WINS server IP address in the DHCP
configuration when acknowledging a DHCP request from a DHCP client.
You can also enable DNS proxy for the LAN. When this is enabled the controller then
as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicates with the ISP's DNS servers. When
disabled all DHCP clients receive the DNS IP addresses of the ISP.
To configure LAN Connectivity, please follow the steps below:
1.
In the LAN Setup page, enter the following information for your controller:
IP address: (factory default: 192.168.10.1).
If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not
respond. Open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. Be
sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the controller) has obtained
IP address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the
controller's LAN subnet) before accessing the controller via changed IP
address.
Subnet mask: (factory default: 255.255.255.0).
2.
In the DHCP section, select the DHCP mode:
None: the controller's DHCP server is disabled for the LAN
DHCP Server. With this option the controller assigns an IP address within the
specified range plus additional specified information to any LAN device that requests
DHCP served addresses.
If DHCP is being enabled, enter the following DHCP server parameters:
