16. d RJ 45 network cable Connect any other computers to the hub also using standard network cables The Web Xpander will be accessible once configured by other computers connected via the hub 3 Connection to a Cable DSL Router This 1s the most 1deal situation in that it allows you to access your STARGATE via the Web Xpander from your home network as well as anywhere on the internet once you ve configured both the Web Xpander and your router most cases the router will also act as a DHCP server and provide the initial network settings for the Web Xpander Network Configuration Every device on a TCP IP network must have a unique IP address IP addresses are always numeric and in the format xxx xxx xxx xxx The default Web Xpander IP address is 192 168 0 5 if no DHCP server was found Most home cable dsl routers default to 192 168 0 1 for the router and dynamically assign addresses using DHCP to PCs starting from 192 168 0 100 When you first power up the Web Xpander and after either a power loss or by pressing the small reset button it will attempt to retrieve its network settings using DHCP unless you have disabled this feature DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol The principle is that a device that knows nothing about its own network settings sends out a broadcast saying in effect tell me what to do The DHCP server is listening for these broadcasts and responds with information containing the se
