 DHCP Server :
 Service : Check “Enable” to activate DHCP Server on VLAN/LAN port.
 Start IP / End IP : Specify the range of IP addresses to be used by the DHCP server when assigning IP
address to clients.
 DNS1 / DNS2 IP : The Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet "phone book" which translates domain
names to IP addresses. These fields identify the server IP addresses where the DNS requests are
forwarded by the WHG-1000.
DNS1 server IP is mandatory. It is used by the DNS Proxy and for the device management purpose.
DNS2 server IP address is optional. It is used as the fail-over in case the primary DNS server will become unresponsive.
 WINS IP : Enter IP address of the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server; this is optional.
 Domain : Enter the domain name for this network.
 Lease Time: The IP addresses given out by the DHCP server will only be valid for the duration specified by
the lease time. Increasing the time ensure client operation without interrupt, but could introduce potential
conflicts. Lowering the lease time will avoid potential address conflicts, but might cause more slight
interruptions to the client while it will acquire new IP addresses from the DHCP server.
 Static Lease : If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create
a static lease. The system will assign the IP address only to that computer or device. There are maximum 50
rules allowed in this list.
 Hostname : Enter the hostname of the computer or device.
 IP Address : Enter the IP address you want to assign to the computer or device. This IP Address must be
within the DHCP IP Address Range.
 MAC Address : Enter the MAC address of the computer or device.
 Actions : Click an action button to perform the appropriate action.
 Delete : Click this button to remove the lease for a specific LAN device and free an entry in the lease
table.
