36 Installation

If you are setting up your network for the first time, please read

Chapter 4 Configuring for Internet Access before proceeding. The

chapter contains important information on how to assign IP

addresses for your network.

1. Ethernet Interface - The Prestige supports two types of

Ethernet connections, the AUI (15-pin) or the connection for

the 10BaseT network (looks like a bigger telephone plug).

Determine which type you are using and select the appropriate

option in this field.

2. Input and Output Filter Sets - Filter sets are used to block

certain packets to reduce traffic and to prevent a security

breach. Filtering is a very involved subject, so leave these fields

blank for the time being. After you have studied filtering in

Chapter 8, come back and define the filter sets.

3. DHCP - This field determines what mode of DHCP (Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol) support the Prestige should use. If

it is set to None, DHCP will not be used. If it is set to Server,

the Prestige will act as a DHCP server, capable of

automatically assigning IP addresses to Windows 95, Windows

NT, and other systems that support the DHCP client. When

DHCP is used, the following four items need to be set.

Do not set this field to Server if there is already a DHCP server

on your network.

4. Client IP Pool Starting Address - DHCP can assign IP

addresses to hosts dynamically instead of requiring that each

system have a fixed IP address. IP addresses are allocated from

a block of addresses, usually assigned by your Internet

provider. The Client IP Pool Starting Address gives the first

address in the reserved block, which is also used as the LAN

network address of the Prestige itself. This address will also

serve as the default gateway for DHCP clients.
