Dynamic Pool Settings
The DHCP address pool defines the range of the IP address that can be assigned to stations in the network. A Dynamic Pool allows wireless
stations to receive an available IP with lease time control. If needed or required in the network, the DAP-2330 is capable of acting as a DHCP
server.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns
dynamic IP addresses to devices on the network.This protocol
simplifies network management and allows new wireless
devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the
need to manually assign new IP addresses. Select Enable to
allow the DAP-2330 to function as a DHCP server.
Input the first IP address available for assignment on your
network.
Enter the number of IP addresses available for assignment.
IP addresses are increments of the IP address specified in the
“IP Assigned From” field.
All devices in the network must have the same subnet mask to communicate. Enter the subnet mask for the network
here.
Enter the IP address of the gateway on the network.
Specify the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server address for the wireless network. WINS is a system that
determines the IP address of a network computer that has a dynamically assigned IP address.
Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server. The DNS server translates domain names such as
www.dlink.com into IP addresses.
Enter the domain name of the network, if applicable. (An example of a domain name is: www.dlink.com.)
The lease time is the period of time before the DHCP server will assign new IP addresses.
