DHCP Server (For AP Mode Only)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a networking protocol that allows administrators to assign
temporary IP addresses to network computers by “leasing” an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time,
instead of assigning permanent IP addresses.
The AWK-3131A-M12-RCC can act as a simplified DHCP server and easily assign IP addresses to your DHCP
clients by responding to the DHCP requests from the client ends. The IP-related parameters you set on this
page will also be sent to the client.
You can also assign a static IP address to a specific client by entering its MAC address. The
AWK-3131A-M12-RCC provides a Static DHCP mapping list with up to 16 entities. Be reminded to check the
Active check box for each entity to activate the setting.
You can check the IP assignment status under Status
DHCP Client List.
