3.DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4.IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network. The default is
5.Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting lease times
for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.
6.Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Ativa”. You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network. It is not necessary to change this setting unless you have a specific naming requirement. You can name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
