Use the setup page to perform basic IP settings for the WAN and LAN interfaces - such as IP address, subnet mask, etc. Connection Type is used to specify how your EIPR connects to the WAN: DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE or PPTP. If required, you can also set optional items like Host Name, Domain Name and MTU. Host Name will be used in your DHCP requests and Domain Name will be used by the EIPR DHCP server.
If you select DHCP, the WAN side of the EIPR will have its IP address, subnet mask and gateway address set by a DHCP server that is directly or indirectly connected to the WAN port. If no DHCP server is available, static entry values can be entered by selecting connection type Static IP. PPPoE is normally used by DSL modems. Follow the instructions provided by the DSL provider when configuring the PPPoE connection settings.
If you lose access to the setup webpages of the router due to any improper settings, press the reset button on the front of the unit for 4 seconds, power cycle the unit, and all settings will be reset to factory defaults and the EIPR webpages will be accessible at 192.168.92.1.
The Router IP address is the IP address which you can use to configure the EIPR. This will also be the gateway address used by IP devices connected to the LAN ports of the EIPR.
The LAN Setup can be used to enable the DHCP server for the LAN side along with the starting DHCP address, the number of DHCP clients and the lease time (in minutes). Only one DHCP server should be used in a LAN, so use caution when enabling DHCP. Set the EIPR's DHCP server addresses to be in the same subnet as the EIPR's IP address.
