Network Management
LAN Setup
The LAN Settings allows you to enable LLTD and to configure the Link Speed and the IP address as a DHCP client or Static IP.
DHCP Client
By selecting ‘DHCP Client’, the ShareCenter will act as a
DHCP client and obtain its LAN IP settings from the DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the local
network. By default, the ShareCenter is set to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server on your network.
Static IP
If necessary, you can assign a static IP address to the
ShareCenter .
IP Address
The IP address of each device on the local area network must
be within the same IP address range and subnet mask. For
a small subnet with less than 253 IP addresses assigned
(e.g. Class C private IP), each device on the LAN (Local Area
Network) needs have a unique IP Address in the format of
(example) 192.168.0.x to connect to other devices within the
same network.
Subnet Mask
Specify the subnet mask for the ShareCenter . The Subnet
mask must be the same for all devices on the same subnet
of the network. The default subnet setting is 255.255.255.0.
For a small subnet with less than 253 IP addresses assigned
(e.g. Class C private IP), keep this default setting.
Gateway IP
Address
Specify the Gateway IP Address for the ShareCenter . The
Gateway IP Address is almost always the LAN address of
your router. Most D-Link routers have a default LAN IP
address of 192.168.0.1.
DNS1/ DNS2
Specify the first and second DNS Addresses for the
ShareCenter . A DNS Address will allow the ShareCenter
to resolve names into IP addresses. Example: Without
a DNS address, the ShareCenter would not be able to
contact an FTP site such as ftp.dlink.com (name). Instead,
you would need to use 64.7.210.131 (IP address). It is
recommended that you enter DNS addresses when setting
a Static IP Address. Often you can use the LAN IP address
of your router as a DNS address. Click ‘Save Settings’ when
finished
