LAN SETUP
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP
service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the
Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses
available in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router.
To access the
LAN SETUP
setting window, click on the
LAN Setup
button in the
SETUP
directory.

IP Address

DHCP SERVER SETTINGS (OPTIONAL)
The
Enable DHCP Server
is selected by default for the Router’s Ethernet
LAN interface. DHCP service will supply IP settings to workstations
configured to automatically obtain IP settings that are connected to the
Router though the Ethernet port. When the Router is used for DHCP it
becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. Keep in
mind that if you change the IP address of the Router the range of IP
addresses in the pool used for DHCP on the LAN will also be changed.
The IP address pool can be up to 253 IP addresses.
