Chapter 5 LAN Screens

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.

Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are 
attached. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses, 
and partition your physical network into logical networks.  

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual 
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige 
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP 
configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server 
on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

The Prestige is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 
192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the Prestige itself) in the 
lower range for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., 
that you may have.

Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter.

The Prestige has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to 
systems that support DHCP client capability.

The LAN parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values:
