98-140012-H Terminal settings 76
To set up the Internet connection mode of the EXPLORER 710, do as follows:
1. From the Terminal settings page, locate Connection.
2. At Internet connection mode, select Bridge mode or Router mode. Router mode is
the default setting and is recommended for most purposes.
• Select Router mode if one or more computers are connected and the EXPLORER 710
should act as a router. When Router mode is selected, the EXPLORER 710 uses the built-
in NAT module for making the necessary address translations.
• Select Bridge mode if only one computer is connected, and the EXPLORER 710 should
act as a modem, or more than one computer is connected using an external router.
3. If you selected Bridge mode, select under Bridge mode IP address how the terminal’s
IP address should be assigned.
• Dynamic example: If the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the locally
connected equipment is 10.30.27.130, the terminal will get the IP address 10.40.27.130.
(in most cases it will be 10 added to the second octet of the assigned IP address).
• Plus one example: If the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the locally
connected equipment is 161.30.181.130, the terminal will get the IP address
161.30.181.131 (the assigned IP address plus one).
4. Under Local IP address, type in a new IP address if you want to change the Local IP
address of the terminal. This is the address used to access the web interface. The default IP
address is 192.168.0.1.
5. Under DHCP, select Enable (recommended for most purposes).
•If you select Enable, the terminal assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices connected to
the terminal.
•If you disable DHCP you need to set up a static IP address in the connected device.
6. If you want to change the Subnet mask for the local network of the terminal, type in the
new network mask. The default network mask is 255.255.255.0.
7. Under DHCP range start and DHCP range end, type in the range of IP addresses that
should be assigned to locally connected equipment.
8. Click Save.
Do not connect more than one computer in Bridge mode, unless you have an
external router.
A number of IP addresses are reserved for internal use. Do not assign any of
the IP addresses listed in List of reserved IP subnets on page 133.
