DHCP Server
11.1 Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the LTE2566-M634’s WLAN as a DHCP
server or disable it. When configured as a server, the LTE2566-M634 provides the TCP/IP configuration for
the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computer must be manually configured.
11.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the
General
screen to enable the DHCP server (

MAC Addresses
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned
at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find
out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the
DHCP Client List
screen.
IP Pool Setup
The LTE2566-M634 is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to
192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the LTE2566-M634 itself) in the lower
range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32) for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP,
web, etc., that you may have.
11.2 DHCP Server General Settings
The LTE2566-M634 has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses to systems that support
