Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway

DHCP

By default, the gateway will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the gateway's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the gateway. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu.

Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the gateway are satisfactory. See “IP Configuration by DHCP” on page B-10for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.

Use router as DHCP server

If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the ‘Use router as DHCP server’ check box. Otherwise, leave it checked.

Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.253, although you may wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

The gateway will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

An IP Address from the range you have defined

Subnet Mask

Gateway IP Address (the gateway’s LAN IP address)

Primary DNS Server (if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu; otherwise, the gateway’s LAN IP address)

Secondary DNS Server (if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu

LAN TCP/IP Setup

The LAN IP parameters are:
