LAN-to-LAN IP Connection
Troubleshooting
This configuration note explains how to set up two Prestige routers for a LAN-to-LAN
connection. Once the connection is established, the workstations on both LANs will be able
to perform any TCP/IP applications (e.g., FTP, Telnet, etc.). There will be three items
that you need to set up. These are workstation and the two Prestige routers.
- Setting up the workstation on both LANs
To set up the workstations, you will need to set the following parameters:
- IP Address-the IP address assigned to the workstation itself
- Subnet Mask-the subnet mask used for your network. Class C networks generally use a
24-bit netmask DNS (Domain Name Server) Address-enter the IP address of the DNS server
- Default Gateway-the IP address of the Prestige, the default gateway for LAN1 is Prestige
1 and for LAN2 is Prestige 2.
The procedure for configuring these parameters for the workstations may differ
depending on the type of TCP/IP networking software you are using on your workstations. If
you are unfamiliar with how to set these parameters, you can refer to the technical notes
corresponding to your software.
For Windows 9x, please go to 'Win9x>Control Panel>Network>TCP/IP-Network
Adapter' for finishing the above settings.
- Setting up the Prestige 1 & Prestige 2
Before configuring the two remote nodes for this application, you need to complete the
following settings first in each Prestige.
- General Setup in SMT Menu 1-enter the system information.
- ISDN Setup in SMT Menu 2- configure the ISDN parameters.
- Ethernet Setup in SMT Menu 3-enter the IP address of the Prestige and enable the DHCP
server if it is required.
- Remote Node Setup in SMT Menu 11
