TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the Wireless Router, as seen from the local LAN.
Use the default value unless the address is already in use or
your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case,
enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your
LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Wireless Router is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to
PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The de-
fault (and recommended) value is Enabled.
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-
configured to treat the Wireless Router as the default Gate-
way. See the following section for further details.
The
Start IP Address
,
Finish IP Address
and
Lease Time
fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocat-
ing IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also
determines the number of DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
