This interface is a

DHCP Server

button and manually enter static network address

information in the areas provided.

Address Assignment
Range

Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range of
numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for mapping
client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP
address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid this,
ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.

Advanced DHCP
Server

Click the

Advanced DHCP Server

button to display a screen used

for generating a list of static MAC to IP address mappings for
reserved clients. A separate screen exists for each of the LANs. For
more information, see

on page 5-12

.

IP Address

The network-assigned numerical (non DNS name) IP address of the
access point.

Network Mask

The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain, the next
set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network. These
values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing
and data transmission. The subnet mask defines the size of the
subnet.

Default Gateway

The

Default Gateway

parameter defines the numerical (non DNS

name) IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet
as its default gateway.

Domain Name

Enter the name assigned to the primary DNS server.

Primary DNS Server

Enter the Primary DNS numerical (non DNS name) IP address.
