If
you are upgrading to this release from Release 5.61 or
earlier, you will have to change your IP configuration
in the 833IS. Releases 5.61 and earlier made the Dial
in clients appear as if they were connected directly to
the LAN, and the clients were assigned IP addresses from
the LAN address space. For
releases after 5.61, the 833IS looks like a router between
two networks. The first network is comprised of the
devices on the LAN. The second network, referred to
as the "Internal WAN network", is comprised
of all IP clients and routers that are dialed into the
WAN ports. Setting up a basic 833IS IP configuration
requires the following:
Defining
the network on the LAN side, and defining the address
of the LAN router port.
Defining
the network on the WAN side, and defining the address
of the WAN router port. Note that all clients dialed
into the WAN see the same address for this WAN router
port.
Configuration
details for this are contained in the readme file included
in this release. Additional information is available
from the online help facility of the 833IS Manager.
This
upgrade must be performed from a LAN attached PC.
