Field

Description

DHCP Setup:

If set to Server, the router acts as a DHCP server.

Client IP Pool Starting

This field is the beginning of the range of addresses to assign.

Address

Size of Client IP Pool

This field is the number of sequential addresses available for

assignment to attached hosts. The maximum is 32.

Primary DNS Server

If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to

attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

Secondary DNS Server

If you want the router to provide the Secondary DNS Server address

to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

TCP/IP Setup:

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal

notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,

for example, 192.168.135.5). Every device on the TCP/IP network must

have a unique IP address.

IP Subnet Mask

An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The

IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written

in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask

for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a

special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by

the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
