can allocate IP address for network devices automatically. If use DHCP server, ensure that
the PC connected with the gateway is configured for obtaining IP address automatically
also, refer to “PC Network Setting”.
Click
to display the DHCP setting page.
y IP Address: The IP address of your gateway. By default, it is 192.168.1.1.
y Subnet Mask: It is used with the IP address to realize flexible subnetting. By default, the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
y DHCP Server: It refers to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server. It is used to
assign the IP addresses dynamically. If the setting is Enabled, the DHCP server can
automatically assign IP addresses for the user PCs. In such case, users do not need to
configure the IP addresses manually. The recommended setting is Enabled.
y Start IP Address& End IP Address: It is used to define the IP address range for random
selection during IP address assignment. That is, it is used to define the IP address range
available for the hosts in the LAN. For example, within the network segment
192.168.1.0/24, the default IP address of the E960 is 192.168.1.1. The host IP address
32
can range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. The minimum IP address range is a single
IP address.
y DHCP Lease Time: The DHCP server assigns a IP address to each device connected to
the LAN for a this amount of time. When the lease expires, the DHCP server will check
if the device has disconnected form the LAN. If it has, the server will reassign this IP
address to a newly connected device. This way can avoid waster of IP address resource.
Note:
y The Start IP Address must be smaller than the End IP Address.
y When the DHCP server is enabled, you can set Start IP Address, End IP
Address, and DHCP Lease Time. Otherwise, you cannot set the preceding
three parameters.

The power indicator is on, the E960 is normally connected with the power adapter. If
the power indicator is off, you need to check whether the power is normally connected.
There are five signal strength indicators on the E960 panel. The more green indicators
are on, the stronger the signal strength. If all of the signal strength indicators are off,
you need to check whether the area is covered by WLAN.
If the area is covered by WLAN, you need to check whether the network mode is right.
See 9 UMTS Setting for information about network mode.
If the 1, 2, 3, 4 four indicators on the panel blinks, the corresponding Ethernet
interfaces are normally connected. If the indicators are off, you need to check whether
the corresponding Ethernet connection is normal.
You must configure the correct PPP user name and PPP password when you access the
internet through the E960. Check whether they are correct, and see Configure PPP
Profile for details.
If the DHCP service is disabled and the PC obtains the IP address dynamically, the PC
also cannot access the internet. You can change the mode to manually assign an IP
address. See PC Network Configuration.
Check whether the driver of the network adapter is correctly installed.
If the preceding methods cannot solve the problem, you can reset the E960 to factory
