DHCP Menu (IP Tree)The parameters displayed on the DHCP page will depend on the choice of DHCP type (server,
relay, or none).
DHCP
Sets the type of DHCP services the Eicon1530 should offer. By default, DHCP services are
enabled (see ‘DHCP Server Enabled’ below).
• NONE: No DHCP services are supplied, and DHCP requests are ignored.
• SERVER: The Eicon1530 will act as a DHCP server and will assign IP addresses in response
to DHCP requests by network devices.
• RELAY: The Eicon 1530 will relay DHCP requests to a separate DHCP server.
DHCP Server Enabled (DHCP = Server)
When acting as a DHCP server, the Eicon 1530 is responsib le for assigning IP addresses when
it receives a DHCP request from a network device. In other words, the Eicon1530 will assign
IP addresses to each computer on the internal Ethernet LAN.
This option is enabled by default. You should not disable it unless the Eicon1530 is connected
to a network that provides its own DHCP services. Note that if the Eicon1530 detects an
existing DHCP server on the local network, it will de-activate its own DHCP server.
Starting IP Address (DHCP = Server)
Defines the starting IP address the Eicon1530 uses when assigning DHCP addresses.
This address must be on the same network as the Eicon1530's LAN IP address.
Default: 192.168.1.2
Number of Addresses (DHCP = Server)
Defines the maximum number of addresses in the dynamic DHCP address pool.
Range: 1-50. Default: 50.
Lease Duration (DHCP = Server)
Defines the length of time a client address (assigned by the Eicon1530) is valid.
Range: 30 minutes to 30 days. Default: 1 hour.
DHCP Domain Name (DHCP = Server)
Defines the domain name returned in response to a DHCP request, when the DHCP server is
enabled.
Range: 0-31 characters, no spaces.
