Settings – LAN & DHCP
IP Address IP address for the XC-DPG Twin WAN Router, as seen from the local LAN.

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
XC-DPG Twin WAN Router is attached (the same value as the PCs on that
LAN segment).
DHCP Server
Configuration

systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called Obtain an
IP address automatically.)
• DHCP Server Setup - If you are already using a DHCP Server, the
DHCP Server setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server
must be set to provide the IP address of the XC-DPG Twin WAN Router
as the Default Gateway. See Chapter 5: Advanced LAN Setup for
