Non-Internet Implementations
An internet server can also be used to expand a LAN by creating a
localized IP "sub-group". In this LAN-to-LAN configuration, the
internet server links the two IP subgroups (as shown below). This
implementation is useful when the LAN has run out of IP ad-
dresses. The internet server uses a single IP address from the first
(global) LAN to establish a second (local) LAN, in much the same
way it allows many users to connect to the internet through a sin-
gle IP address. PC's on the second LAN (called a local LAN since
the IP addresses of computers on this LAN are managed by the
internet server) can still access the internet by setting their
Gateway address to the IP address of the local LAN port of the
Internet server. Please note that the WAN ports on the DP-692
are disabled when it is operating in LAN-to-LAN mode.
