5.1 LAN Overview

Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are

attached. The LAN screens can help you conﬁ gure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses,

and partition your physical network into logical networks.Please see the Wizard Setup chapter

for the background information about Primary and Secondary DNS Server and IP Address and

another network or the Internet.
