LAN Settings
The LAN Settings page allows you to modify the IP address and subnet mask that will
identify the DFL-1500 on your LAN. This is the IP address you will enter in the URL
field of your web browser to connect to the DFL-1500. It is also the IP address that all
of the computers and devices on your LAN will use as their Default Gateway.
IP Address
−
this is the IP address that will be assigned to the LAN port. The default
is
192.168.1.254
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
IP Subnet Mask
−
this is the subnet mask corresponding to the LAN port’s IP address,
above. The default is 255.255.255.0.
The IP address assigned to the DFL-1500 here, must be on the same subnet (be
within the same IP address range) specified on the
DHCP Servers
. The DHCP Server
fields allow you to configure the DFL-1500 to be a DHCP Server on your LAN. The
DFL-1500 can then automatically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateway
and DNS server addresses to computers on your LAN. The computers on your LAN
must have a DHCP client enabled to get their network address information from the
DFL-1500.
IP Pool Starting Address
−
the first IP address of the range from which the DFL-1500
will assign to each of the computers on your LAN.
Pool Size
−
the number of IP addresses which the DFL-1500 will assign to the
computers on you LAN.
