LAN & DHCP Server
The settings of a TCP/IP environment include host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS
configurations. It is not easy to manually configure all the computers and devices in your
network. Fortunately, DHCP Server provides a rather simple approach to handle all these settings.
This product supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable this product’s DHCP server
and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when your computer is
powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from this product. The settings
of DHCP server include the following items:
DHCP Server : Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”
IP pool starting Address/ IP pool starting Address : Whenever there is a request,
the DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool
to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address
pool.
