604, and, if the DHCP server is activated, to see DHCP leases it has provided.

address for the DCM-604, and the DCM-604’s DHCP server provides IP addresses,
starting at the address you set in

server leases an IP address with an expiration time.
To set the maximum number of PCs to which the DCM-604 will issue IP addresses, enter
it in the
Number of CPEs
box and then click

used for PC.)
