FT-66xx Quick Start Guide

The LAN1 DHCP server is enabled by default to make it easier to do initial setup. However, in most

cases you will not want it running. It will interfere any other DHCP servers you may have on your

network. Navigate to the LAN1 – DHCP_Server form. Disable the DHCP server, or configure it

appropriately for you network.

Step 4: Activate Changes

If you changed any of the LAN1 settings, now is a good time to Activate Changes and switch over to

using LAN1's new IP address. After you activate the changes, you will need to change the URL in your

web browser to the FT-66xx's new IP address.

Step 5: Store Configuration

If you had changes to activate, then you should now Store Configuration. It is usually best to activate

changes first, then store them. This give you a change to verify that the changes are OK before

committing them to non-volatile storage. If the changes were bad, you can simply power-cycle the unit

and get back to your previously working configuration.

Step 6: Configure LAN2

LAN2 is the primary link to the Internet. Navigate to the LAN2 – IP Configuration form. Set the IP

address, subnet mask, and gateway. Unlike the LAN1 configuration, a gateway address is almost

always needed for LAN2. It should be the address of your Internet router. The other fields on this page

are typically not needed and may be left blank.

LAN2 can also connect to the Internet using PPPoE. If your ISP requires PPPoE, navigate to the

LAN2-Mode form and set the mode to PPPoE. Then navigate to the LAN2 - PPPoE Configuration

form and set the configuration per you ISP's instruction. In most cases, you will only need to set the

User Name and Password fields.

Step 7: Configure LAN3

If you have a secondary Internet connection it can be used as backup link. Configure LAN3 in the

same manner as LAN2. Otherwise, navigate to the LAN3 – Mode form and disable it.

Step 8: Set the Clock

It is important to set the FT-66xx clock prior to generating the security keys. These keys contain time-

stamps, and large clock discrepancies can result in certificate errors. Navigate to Administration – Set

Clock to manually set the time. Optionally, navigate to Tools – NTP and configure NTP. If relying on

an NTP server to obtain the time, please verify that the time is successfully set prior to generating any

keys.
