Chapter 4: Advanced Applications

This chapter provides information on how to set up and use the advanced features of your
NetComm ADSL Modem Router.

4-1 DHCP Configuration

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server can automatically assign IP Addresses
to each computer in your network. Unless you already have a DHCP Service on your LAN, it is
highly recommended that you set your router to act as a DHCP server.

Note: The DHCP Server can support a maximum pool of 253 IP Addresses.

Dynamic IP Address Select “Enable” to set your Router to act as a DHCP server. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, set the router’s DHCP option to “Disable”.

Starting IP Address Enter a numerical value, from 2 to 254, for the DHCP server to start at
when assigning IP Addresses.

Number of Users Enter the maximum number of computers that you want the DHCP
server to assign IP Addresses to, with the absolute maximum being 253.

DNS1, 2, 3 Enter the DNS numbers you wish to be assigned to DHCP clients.

WINS Enter the WINS number you wish to be assigned to DHCP clients.

DHCP Clients Table Click the DHCP Clients Table button to show current DHCP client
information.

4-2 Access Control

The Access Control feature allows administrators to block certain users from accessing the
Internet or specific applications. Before using this function, the network computers which you
want to control the access limitation should be assigned fixed IP Addresses.

IP Access Setting

Network administrators can restrict access of up to five groups of specified network users/
computers.
