TCP/IP

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.
