DHCP Server Configuration
IPX-1500 has a built-in DHCP server that can automatically assign dynamic IP addresses to client PCs
connected to its LAN ports, simplifying the task of IP address management. You can set up two IP
address ranges for the DHCP server to use – the second range will be used only after the first range is
all used up. Being able to set up two IP address ranges makes the system more flexible in terms of IP
address usage.
Please select the DHCP server configuration icon:
Parameter Description
DHCP server
Enable / Disable
Please make sure all the following parameters are set properly before
enabling the DHCP server.
Lease Time (min)
1440 (default value)
The lease time is measured in minutes.
Domain Name Please insert the domain name of the IPX-1500.
Router IP
Please insert the router’s IP address of the IPX-1500.
If you want to use IPX-1500’s internal router, please insert the IPX-1500’s LAN
IP address here, or use another router on the LAN then insert its IP address
here instead.
Assignment IP range
1
Please insert the first IP address range. The values must be within 1 ~ 254,
and the end value must be greater than the start value.
Note that the first three numbers (unchangeable) should be the same as the
first three numbers of IPX-1500’s LAN IP address. If not, then you must
correct IPX-1500’s LAN IP address setting first.
Assignment IP range
2
Please insert the second IP address range. The DHCP server will start to use
the second range only after the first range is all used up. If you don’t need to
use the second range, please insert zero for both the start value and the end
value.
