Chapter 3: Configuration   
LAN Configuration 
For the LAN Configuration, there are two types that you have to know, IP Address and DHCP Server. 
 
IP Address 
LAN Configuration allows you to define the public/private IP address over the LAN interface. 
Primary IP Address:    Private IP address is used for the purpose of system management. When it is assigned, PC 
on the LAN is able to use the specified address to access this ADSL Router through 
Ethernet. 
By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively. 
This will give you an available range of IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 
that can be assigned to PCs on the LAN. 
Secondary IP Address:  If you applied for multiple IP address from your ISP, you will have a range of IP address for 
the ADSL Router and other network devices on the LAN. You can fill in the IP address 
assigned by ISP in the public IP address field. 
DHCP Server 
This page allows you to enable DHCP server on LAN interface and then your router can assign IP addresses to those 
PCs connected to your router.
