Chapter 3: Configuring the LAN
MM701G and MM702G User Manual 15
IP Address
See the LAN administrator for a LAN IP address. Do one of the following:
• Enter an IP address for the LAN (10Base-T) port provided by the LAN
administrator
• Use the default IP address for the LAN port which is 10.0.0.1. If you choose to use
the default IP address, ensure that the devices on your LAN are on the same subnet
as this modem LAN port.
• If you want a DHCP server on your LAN to automatically provide the modem
LAN port IP address, select
Client for the DHCP configuration (see DHCP
Client below).
Subnet Mask
See the LAN administrator for the subnet mask. Do one of the following:
• Enter the subnet mask for the LAN (10Base-T) port provided by the LAN
administrator.
• Use the default subnet mask for the LAN port which is 255.255.255.0. If you
choose to use the default subnet mask, ensure that it allows devices on your LAN
to access the modem LAN port.
• If you want a DHCP server on your LAN to automatically provide the subnet mask
in addition to the IP address, select
Client for the DHCP configuration (see DHCP
Client below).
DHCP Client
A DHCP server must be set up and active on the LAN prior to enabling this feature.
When DHCP Client is
Enabled, the modem automatically changes the LAN port IP
address to all zeroes so that the DHCP server on the LAN can immediately serve it an
IP address. This parameter is used when the LAN port is in bridging mode only.
If a DHCP server is not set up and active on your LAN, do not enable DHCP
client. DHCP Client mode is recommended for use only when bridging is used
as the LAN protocol.
