This section describes how to configure the parameters of your LAN. (LAN refers 
to that section of the network comprising your 56K LAN Modem and all of the 
computers or devices attached to it by means of Ethernet cabling.) This section 
describes the LAN parameters and then provides steps for their configuration.

The LAN (Ethernet) Parameters window, shown in Figure 40, contains the 
following fields.

Figure 40   LAN Parameters Window

Displays the name for the 56K LAN Modem. This name is used for DNS. For 
example, the name LANmodem is translated to the IP address 192.168.1.1.

The IP address is a unique address which identifies the 56K LAN Modem on a 
network. The default address (192.168.1.1) is a private IP address which will be 
translated automatically by the 56K LAN Modem for Internet access. You should 
leave the default unless you are certain that this value must be changed.

The 56K LAN Modem attempts to use its default IP address to communicate with 
the computer. If communication cannot be established, the 56K LAN Modem will 
change its default IP address. If this occurs, the IP address shown in Figure 40 will 
be different.

The subnet mask identifies the subnetwork to which your computer is connected. 
You should leave the default unless you are certain that this value must be 
changed.
