Chapter 3 Using Advanced Settings
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “
DHCP
Server” screen generates the “
DHCP
Server
Configuration” screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server information here.
Beginning IP Address - 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
IP
Address at which the
DHCP
Server stops
assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the facto-
ry default settings (
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 its network.
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
111.33.222.1
, set the beginning
IP
address to
111.33.222.2
, and the ending
IP
address to
111.33.222.254
.
