Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN has a
, which is enabled on delivery. As a result,
the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset SE365 WLAN.
Depending on the configuration of your network, it may be better to deactivate the
Gigaset SE365 WLAN's integrated DHCP server.
ì
To do this, select the
Off
option for the
DHCP server
.
However, this is only necessary, if
– another DHCP server is already being used in your network.
– you are using more than one Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the same network. In this
case, please switch off the DHCP server on all other repeaters.
Make sure you
change the IP addresses of the other Gigaset SE365 WLAN (follow the example
on page 30).
– the IP addresses in your network are static, i.e. you have manually assigned a
static IP address to every network component.
If your network does not have a DHCP server yet, then you can use the DHCP server inte-
grated in your Gigaset SE365 WLAN to assign the IP addresses of the connected devices
automatically.
ì
In this case, select the
On
option for the
DHCP server
.
ì
If you have activated the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you
should also check the following settings and make any changes that are necessary.
– The
First issued IP address
and
Last issued IP address
entries define the range
of IP addresses that your Gigaset SE365 WLAN should use to automatically assign
IP addresses to PCs.
– In the
Default gateway
field, enter the IP address of your router that is to be used
to connect your PCs to the Internet (e.g. 192.168.2.1).
Example of LAN settings with two repeaters
If you want to use several Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the same network, make sure you
assign different IP addresses to each of them. Use an address block that is within the
selected subnet but not in the address block of the addresses automatically assigned by
the DHCP server in your network. Switch off both associated DHCP servers.
Note:
If you opt for automatic address assignment for the connected PCs, make sure that the
DHCP server of your existing access point has been activated. The devices connected
via the Gigaset SE365 WLAN will then use it automatically.
