The Server configuration determines the functionality of your DHCP Settings. This functionality enables the Gateway to assign your LAN computer(s) a “private” IP address and other parameters that allow network communication. This feature simplifies network administration because the Gateway maintains a list of IP address assignments. Additional computers can be added to your LAN without the hassle of configuring an IP address. This is the default mode for your Gateway.

❑Router IP Address: Specifies the IP address of the Gateway itself.

❑Subnet Mask: Specifies the common Class C subnet.

❑DHCP Start Address: Specifies the first address in the DHCP address range. You can reserve a sequence of up to 253 IP addresses within a subnet, beginning with the specified address, for dynamic assignment.

❑DHCP End Address: Specifies the last address in the DHCP address range.

❑DHCP Lease: Specifies the default length for DHCP leases issued by the Gateway. Enter lease time in dd:hh:mm:ss (days/hours/minutes/seconds) format.

❑DHCP Server Enable: Uncheck this setting if you already have a DHCP server on your LAN. This enables the DHCP server in this Gateway.

❑Additional IP Subnets: When you click the Additional IP Subnets button, the IP Subnets screen appears.

One subnet is preconfigured by default.
