LAN IP Setup
The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP. From the Main
Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on LAN IP Setup to view the LAN IP Setup
menu, shown in
Figure 5-6
Figure 5-6.
LAN IP Setup Menu
The modem is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a
DHCP server. The modem’s default LAN IP configuration is:
•
LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1
•
Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
TxPkts
The number of packets transmitted on this port since reset or manual clear.
RxPkts
The number of packets received on this port since reset or manual clear.
Poll Interval
Specifies the intervals at which the statistics are updated in this window. Click on Stop
to freeze the display.
Note:
If you change the LAN IP address of the modem while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP
address and log in again.

Advanced Configuration of the Modem
Changing the Modem Access Password
The default user name is

To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. Click
Apply.
Firmware Upgrade
The software of the DM602 modem is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new
software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Netgear's website. If
the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file before
sending it to the modem. The upgrade file can be sent to the modem using your browser.
Note:
The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the DM602 modem must
support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the
Firmware Upgrade heading to display the menu shown in
Figure 5-8
.
Figure 5-8.
Firmware Upgrade menu
To upload new firmware:
1.
Download and unzip the new software file from NETGEAR.
2.
In the Firmware Upgrade menu, click the Browse button and browse to the location of the
binary (.BIN) upgrade file
3.
Click Upload.
Note:
When uploading software to the DM602 modem, it is important not to interrupt the Web
browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is
interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your modem will
automatically restart. The upgrade process will typically take about one minute.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the modem after upgrading.
DMZ
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the modem unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on
your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server.
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The modem is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not
function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address
is entered as the Default DMZ Server.

Advanced Configuration of the Modem
The Security menu, shown in
Figure 5-9
, allows the configuration of a Default DMZ Server.
Figure 5-9.
DMZ menu.
To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server:
1.
Check the check box to enable the DMZ feature
2.
Type the IP address for that server.
3.
Click Apply.
Device Mode
The modem includes a limited feature router to make the process of configuring your connection
easier and more secure. You can change the operation of the modem from Modem Device Mode to
Router Device Mode.
In Modem Device Mode, the modem operates like a DSL modem, passing all the Internet
communications directly to your computer where you must then configure your settings and logon
settings as needed.
Note:
For security, you should avoid using the DMZ Server feature. When a computer
is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the modem,
and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet.
Note:
If you need to delete the IP address of the DMZ server, you must enter 0.0.0.0 as
the address, and then click the Apply button.
