7. Toggle IP Address Serving to On or Off, depending on whether you want the device’s IP address ser ver to
supply dynamic IP addresses to your client workstations. Normally, you would accept the default On so that
workstations on your LAN can have IP addresses assigned dynamically from the router.
8. The IP address ser ver will provide 100 IP addresses automatically to workstations on your LAN. You only
need to change the Number of Client IP Addresses if you have some other IP addressing scheme.
9. By default, the 1st Client Address is 192.168.1.100, based on the device’s default IP address of
192.168.1.1. You only need to change this if you have some other IP addressing scheme.
10. Press the Down arrow key until you reach NEXT SCREEN. Press Return.
