Description

 

 

DHCP Gateway

Enter the IP address of the default gateway that is provided by the LAN administrator

 

for devices on the LAN. The MM701F must be configured as a DHCP server and

 

provides this gateway IP address to requesting DHCP clients (such as PCs) on the

 

LAN.

DNS Server

Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server that is provided by

 

either the service provider or the LAN administrator. The MM701F must be

 

configured as a DHCP server and provides this DNS IP address to requesting DHCP

 

clients (such as PCs) on the LAN.

 

The DNS server maps human-readable addresses to IP addresses. A

 

human-readable address is one such as:

 

maggie.copro.company.com.

 

The DNS resolver on the server translates this to a numeric value. This numeric value

 

is the IP address assigned to a WAN session (see page 23).
