IP Address
The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is
192.168.0.1.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the LAN interface. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
Local Domain Name
This entry is for the local Domain set on your network, if you have
given it a name previously. This field is for your personal use and
unnecessary for proper configuration of this window.
DNS Relay The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another
available service to workstations on your LAN. When using DNS relay,
the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the LAN and
forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. DNS relay can
use auto discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually entered by
the user. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and
configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users
who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using
DNS servers on the ISP’s network, will leave DNS relay enabled
(either auto discovery or user configured).
LAN is short for Local Area
Network. This is considered
your internal network. These
are the IP settings of the LAN
interface for the DI-624S and
may be referred to as Private
settings. You may change the
LAN IP address if needed.
The LAN IP address is private
to your internal network and
cannot be seen on the
Internet.
