Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
Actiontec strongly recommends leaving the
DHCP
Server option On. If the
DHCP
Server option is Off, ensure the
IP
addresses of the networked computers are
on the same subnet as the
IP
address of the Modem. For more information, see
“
DHCP
Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “
DHCP
Server” screen (if the
DHCP
server is activated) generates
the “
DHCP
Server Configuration” screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server
information here.
Beginning IP Address
The “Beginning
IP
Address” is the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server starts
assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default setting
(192.168.0.2).
Ending IP Address
The “Ending
IP
Address” is the
IP
Address at which the
DHCP
Server stops
assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default set-
tings (192.168.0.254).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique
IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Modem must
be on the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the
Modem’s
IP
address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2, and the ending
IP
address to 10.33.222.254.
