This chapter discusses how to configure IP on the ZyAIR
10.1  Factory Ethernet Defaults
The Ethernet parameters of the ZyAIR are preset in the factory with the following values:
IP address of 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
These parameters should work for the majority of installations.
10.2  TCP/IP Parameters
10.2.1  IP Address and Subnet Mask
Refer to the 
IP Address and Subnet Mask 
section in the 
Wizard Setup
 chapter for this 
information.
10.2.2  WAN IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated 
from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP 
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private 
networks.
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private 
network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the 
ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if 
you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for 
the appropriate IP addresses.
