IP Settings

To further simplify things it is recommended that you use the Router's web-based management software for

initial configuration. To communicate with the Router, the manager PC must be connected to it via an Ethernet

connection and have a web browser installed. Furthermore, the manager PC must reside within the same subnet

as the Router. This can be done easily using the DHCP function of the Router. The Router will act as a DHCP

server by default. You can configure the manager PC to obtain its IP settings from the Router by following the

procedure in the next section, Configure the Manager PC for DHCP.

You should start by configuring the manager PC to obtain IP settings from the Router. Next disconnect the

manager PC from the network and connect it directly to the Router with a straight-through Ethernet cable.

For connections using the DSL-502G as a simple bridge, it may be more convenient to change the LAN IP

address of the device. Instructions for changing the device's LAN IP address read Appendix B, LAN IP Setup,

for more information.

Configure the Manager PC as a DHCP Client (Windows XP)

Use the following steps to configure the manager PC to be a DHCP client. These same steps must be performed

for every host PC on your network if you use the DHCP function of the Router.

1. From the Start menu on your desktop, go to click on Control Panel.
