Advanced Configuration
DHCP Server Enter the DHCP server IP address to relay DHCP requests from the local network when the Gateway is in DHCP Relay mode. (This setting is not available for all encapsulation types.)
Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the Gateway’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253. The default is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users Enter the maximum number of users (network devices) that can obtain an IP address. The number will vary depending on the starting IP address entered and cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50.
Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network device will be allowed connection to the Gateway with its current dynamic IP address. Enter the number of minutes that the device will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the device will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.

The Gateway offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other server behind the Gateway.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider, www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default, Disabled.
