Description

Ethernet TCP/IP Setup
  • IP Address and Subnet Mask:

    The Prestige is pre-configured in the factory with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (class C). This combination should work fine for the majority of cases. Leave them as is if your ISP did not explicitly assign you any IP address for your LAN. Otherwise, select one from the assigned addresses that is easier to remember for your Prestige.

    The PNC will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you assign to the Prestige. Do not change the computed value unless your ISP tells you to do so.

DNS Server Address

    DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask. Make sure that you obtain the IP address of the DNS server(s) from your ISP. Your workstations will need this information even if you don't use the Prestige's DHCP server.
