LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Server Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol,
RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP
configuration at startup from a server. Enable the DHCP server unless your ISP
instructs you to do otherwise.
Select Disable to stop the WAH7130 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a
server, the WAH7130 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP
service is disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill in the following
four fields.
IP Pool Starting
Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the WAH7130.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
