DHCP Server: the screen is displayed as shown in the figure above.
a. Start IP Address and End IP Address (IP address range): determines the
number of hosts that may be connected to the network in this subnet. The
'Start IP Address' field specifies the first IP address that may be assigned in
this subnet; the 'End IP Address' field specifies the last IP address in the
range.
b. Subnet Mask: mask used to determine the subnet to which an IP address
belongs (e.g., 255.255.0.0).
c. Lease Time in Minutes: each device is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server for a limited time when it connects to the network. When the
lease expires the server determines if the computer has disconnected from
the network. If it has, then the server may reassign this IP address to a
newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses that are
not in use become available for other computers on the network.
d. Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client: if the DHCP client does not
have a host name, the Telephone Adapter assigns the client a default name.
