Chapter 6 Advanced Setup
Action tec strongly recommends leaving the
DHCP
Server option On . If the
DHCP
Server option is Off , ensure the
IP
addresses of the networked computers are
on the same subnet as the
IP
address of the Modem. For more information, see
“
DHCP
Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking
Next
in the “
DHCP
Server” screen generates the “
DHCP
Server Settings”
screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server information here.
Beginning IP Address, Ending IP Address
These are the
IP
addresses at which the
DHCP
server starts and stops assigning
IP
addresses. Action tec recommends keeping the factory default settings for these
IP
addresses (
192
.
168
.
0
.
2
and
192.168.0.254
, respectively).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254
to each computer on the network.
Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical; this
means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Modem must be on
the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the Modem’s
IP
address is changed to
10.33.222.1
, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2
,
and the ending
IP
address to
10
.
33
.
222
.
254
.
DNS (Dynamic or Static)
This is the type of
DNS
server provided by the
ISP
. If the
ISP
provided
DNS
server
information, select the type here. If not, leave as is.
