TCP/IP
IP Address IP address for the Broadband Router, as seen from the local
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use
or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter
case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by
your LAN.
Subnet Mask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Broadband Router is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
•
If Enabled, the Broadband Router will allocate IP Addresses
to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The
default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
•
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-
configured to treat the Broadband Router as the default
Gateway. See the following section for further details.
•
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the
values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Ad-
dresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the
number of DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
