Definitions
IP Address:
The IP address of the 201ER LAN interface is sometimes referred to as the LAN default gateway.
Subnet Mask:
The range of the Subnet mask in use for the LAN connected to the Ethernet port. The default is
255.0.0.0.
DHCP Server:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used on a LAN to allow simple device management
from workstations. In DHCP Server mode, the 201ER automatically assigns IP settings to a workstation
when your device has enabled DHCP client.
User Defined Start Address/End Address:
You can enable DHCP Server and set the Address ranges from which the addresses are distributed to
the DHCP clients on your network. The Start/End address must be in the same subnet as the LAN IP
Address.
Lease Time:
A DHCP lease time is the amount of time that the DHCP server grants to the DHCP client to use a
particular IP address. If set to 0 (zero), the DHCP Server will never release assigned IP addresses.
