IP Address IP address for the LevelOne Broadband Router, as seen from the local
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your
LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an
unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the LevelOne Broadband Router is attached (the
same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server • If Enabled, the LevelOne Broadband Router will allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start
up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the LevelOne Broadband Router as the default Gateway. See
the following section for further details.
• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
