This procedure is optional. Follow this procedure to enable or disable DHCP on the modem.

From the

screen and enter values for the following DHCP

parameters:

1

To enable DHCP, select

8

to enter the default gateway address that is provided to the requesting DHCP

client—only if you are operating in server mode. This IP Address is also available from
your LAN administrator.

DHCP Range Low Address

Enter the IP address supplied by your LAN administrator.
This is the lowest IP address value that the MM701F can
serve when configured as a DHCP server.

DHCP Range High Address

Enter the IP address supplied by your LAN administrator.
This is the highest IP address value that the MM701F can
serve when configured as a DHCP server.

DHCP Gateway Address

Enter the IP address of the default gateway that is provided
by the LAN administrator for devices on the LAN. The
MM701F must be configured as a DHCP server and
provides this gateway IP address to requesting DHCP
clients (such as PCs) on the LAN.

DHCP DNS

Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS)
server that is provided by either the service provider or the
LAN administrator. The MM701F must be configured as a
DHCP server and provides this DNS IP address to
requesting DHCP clients (such as PCs) on the LAN.

The DNS server maps human-readable addresses to IP
addresses. A human-readable address is one such as:

maggie.copro.company.com.

The DNS resolver on the server translates this to a numeric
value.
