4.7. LAN Configuration
To enter the network configuration, select the LAN menu item. In the first part of
the window it is possible to define the network interface IP address (IP address), the network
mask (Subnet Mask) and media type (Media Type), in the majority of cases set Auto-
Negotiation.
In the second part of the window is possible to define Default Gateway and DNS
server.
In the third part of the window, it is possible to define the DHCP server by checking the
Enable dynamic DHCP server option. In the window it is possible to define the beginning
(IP Pool Start) and end (IP Pool End) of the pool of IP addresses which will lease to DHCP
clients. By parameter Lease time is possible to define time after which the client can use IP
address.
In the fourth part of the Windows it is possible, by checking the Enable static
DHCP server option, to define leases up to six static IP Addresses, which conform to MAC
Address of the connected equipment etc.
The changes in settings will apply after pressing the Apply button.
The DHCP server assign IP addresses to the connected clients from defined address
pool, IP address of the gate and IP address of the primary DNS server. It is important not to
overlap ranges of static engaged IP address with address allotted by the help of DHCP, or
collision of addresses may occur, thereby malfunctioning the network.
