enter an unused IP address from the previously-used address range
and activate the DHCP server.
The wizard now assigns the selected IP address and associated
netmask to the device. On the basis of this IP address, the device
then determines the valid address pool for the DHCP assignment.
After a few seconds, all of the computers in the network will be
checked and are assigned a new IP address by the DHCP server as
required. The computers also receive additional parameters such as
the broadcast address, DNS server, default gateway, etc.
Manual configuration
If configuration using the
ELSA LANconfig
wizard is not for you, set the
parameters for the DHCP server manually: In
ELSA LANconfig
in the 'TCP/IP'
configuration section on the 'DHCP' tab or in the
/Setup/DHCP
Module
menu).

Accounting
This section is only relevant for devices with DSL firmware!!
The accounting tool determines online times and data transfer volumes and
breaks them down according to the computers that used the connections.
The accounting data are stored in a list for current connections and in an
accumulated list.
The data collected include the following:
User (name, IP address, MAC address)
The online times and data transfer volumes are assigned the MAC
addresses of the system network interfaces in the LAN. The router can
supply additional information regarding the assignments of MAC
addresses and computer names from the DHCP or DNS server modules,
if available. In this case, online times can be assigned directly to
computer names. If the assignment of MAC addresses to computer
names is not possible, other existing information is recorded to identify
the user, such as the IP address.
Usually the MAC address cannot be determined for network users who
access the LAN via dial-in connections. In this case, the router generates
a pseudo address that allows the remote dial-in stations to be identified
during accounting.
