Set Options On The Router - Imperial DABMAN i500 BT Bedienungsanleitung

7.1 Set options on the router

In any case, you will need to be familiar with the router - or the router's administrator - so
that you can adjust settings and know what to do with the device. All you have to do is
enter
a specific address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) in the web browser and you will find a convenient
interface where you can set all the options.
SSID broadcast (WLAN)
As you can read in the technical glossary, the abbreviation SSID is the technical term for
the network name so that you can be notified of all radio network devices in range: here is
a network with this ID. However, some routers also have the ability to hide this name. This
option is usually called SSID broadcast and can be turned on or off. If sharing is disabled,
E
you will need to know this name to manually enter it when setting up the DABMAN i500
BT.
Device ID: the MAC address
The „MAC address" is a unique identifier for each network device. These addresses are
„burned" into the devices and are therefore almost unalterable.
This is precisely why this ID is suitable for configuring a router so that it only allows
devices with a specific ID to access the network or the internet. In this case, the router
would have to be notified of the DABMAN device's MAC address so that it can fulfil its
purpose and use the network connection and access data in the network. The ID of each
DABMAN is located on a sticker on the back of the device.
Fixed IP
Under certain conditions, it makes sense to find a device under the same address. Ac-
tually, most networks are now set up so that the identification address of the TCP/IP
protocol, or the „IP address", is assigned dynamically. This means that each device will be
assigned a valid IP address via a DHCP server when the first connection is established,
and will stay assigned to this one as long as it is not used otherwise.
Actually, the user remains unaware of this process, as everything happens fully auto-
matically. However, if a network is based on static IPs, not on dynamically assigned IP
addresses, there are usually precise rules on exactly which numbers can be selected. The
DABMAN i500 BT also has this kind of IP address. If the network wants a fixed IP address,
you have to know the rules for assigning one.
