DHCP Server Settings
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), defines a way to automatically assign IP addresses to computers on a network.
IP addresses are managed by a DHCP server. If a Windows computer is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, it
automatically gets an address from the DHCP server.
Enable DHCP Server Functions
By default, the Wireless Broadband Router is set to function as a DHCP server. If you are installing the unit on an existing
network that already has a DHCP server or simply do not want the Wireless Broadband Router to function as the network's
DHCP server, uncheck the box Enable DHCP Server Functions to disable the DHCP server function.
IP Address Pool Range
The IP Address Pool Range section provides a means of controlling a low and high value for the IP addresses on a network.
Use the indicated fields to define the range of IP addresses you would like the Wireless Broadband Router to provide to DHCP
clients. The valid range of numbers you should enter is between 1 and 254.
The lease time is the amount of time a user will be allowed to use the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. You may
specify the lease time that DHCP server offers for the client to use the IP address. This setting is especially useful in campus
or other environments where users change frequently.
IP Address Reservation
Specific IP addresses may also be reserved for particular devices in a network. The IP Address Reservation fields allows you
to reserve up to four IP addresses for a specific system. The Computer MAC field is the MAC address of your network card on
the client computer interfacing the same network as the router. Use the input boxes under IP Address to indicate the IP
address for those devices that should use a manually-defined IP address.
