DHCP

What DHCP Does

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.

•The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).

•The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address.

•The Wireless Broadband Router can act as a DHCP server.

•Windows and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Cli- ent".

•You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If you only have one Router on your LAN, then there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.)

Using the Wireless Broadband Router's DHCP Server

This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:

•Enable or Disable the Wireless Broadband Router's DHCP Server function.

•Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.

You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.

Using another DHCP Server

You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the Wireless Broadband Router's, the following procedure is required.

•Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Broadband Router. This setting is on the LAN screen.

•Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Broadband Router's IP Ad- dress as the Default Gateway.

To Configure your PCs to use DHCP

This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows. See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.
