This table describes the parameters that can be modified in DHCP Server Setup.

Parameters

Description

The fields DHCP Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address fields allow you to

define the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an IP address to the LAN.

DHCP Start IP Address

 

This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will

 

 

 

assign and should belong to the same subnet as

 

 

 

the router. For example if the router IP address is

 

 

 

192.168.168.1 and the network mask is

 

 

 

192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP Start IP

 

 

 

Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can be

 

 

 

any number from 2 to 254. It is pre-set to

 

 

 

192.168.168.100.

 

 

 

DHCP End IP Address

 

This is the last IP address that the DHCP server can

 

 

 

assign and should also belong to the same subnet

 

 

 

as your router. For example if the router IP address

 

 

 

is 192.168.168.1 and the network mask is

 

 

 

192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP End IP

 

 

 

Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can be

 

 

 

any number from 2 to 254. It is pre-set as

 

 

 

192.168.168.254.

 

 

 

 

DHCP

Gateway

IP

Though the DHCP server usually also acts as the

Address

 

 

Default Gateway of the DHCP client, the router

 

 

 

allows you to define a different Gateway IP

 

 

 

Address which will be allocated as the Default

 

 

 

Gateway IP of the DHCP client. The DHCP client

 

 

 

will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the

 

 

 

router but will access to the Internet or the other

 

 

 

LAN through the Default Gateway defined by the

 

 

 

DHCP Gateway IP Address.

 

 

 

For instance if the unit in Access Point Client mode

 

 

 

connects to an Internet gateway X, a PC wired to

 

 

 

the unit will be unable to obtain a dynamic IP

 

 

 

address directly from X. But if you enable the

 

 

 

DHCP server of the unit and set the IP address of X

 

 

 

as the DHCP Gateway IP Address, the PC will

 

 

 

obtain its IP address from the unit and access the

 

 

 

Internet through X.
