DHCP Server

DHCP Server > Subnet Settings

General Configuration

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a large network.

DHCP:

Enable/disable the DHCP server.

Subnet:

Enter the subnet address. For the subnet change, all the ranges have to be deleted;

 

otherwise, you would not be able to edit the subnet.

Mask:

Enter the subnet mask address.

Gateway:

Enter the gateway address.

DNS:

Enter the DNS address.

Lease Time:

Select the DHCP Lease Time from the selection box. Lease time is set in days, hours,

 

and minutes. A Lease Time of 00-00-00 is an Infinite Lease Time.

Submit

Click the Submit button to save these settings. Note: You must click Save and

 

Restart once you have completed and submitted all the screens on which you have

 

made changes.

Subnet Settings

From-To Range:

Enter the range of IP address for the subnet. For every range, the From and the To

 

addresses have to be entered in these fields.

Add:

Click the Add button. The address range is added and will display in the table at the

 

bottom of the screen. Once the range displays, you can delete if necessary.

Note:

See Appendix A – A Table of Commonly Supported Subnets.

RJ-9, RJ-45 specifications

Multi-Tech Systems offers a range of communication solutions, prominently featuring the RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors that are crucial in networking and telecommunications. These connectors are foundational to many applications, enabling efficient data transfer and ensuring reliable voice communications.

The RJ-45 connector is primarily used in Ethernet networks. It features eight pins and is designed for high-speed data transmission, making it the standard for wired local area networks (LANs). This connector supports various Ethernet standards including Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T), Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), and even 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). An essential characteristic of the RJ-45 is its versatility, as it can be used with both straight-through and crossover cable configurations. This flexibility allows for straightforward connectivity between devices such as computers, routers, and switches.

Multi-Tech Systems employs advanced technology in their RJ-45 connectors, including support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This innovation permits electrical power and data to be transmitted over the same cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional wiring. The robust design of these connectors ensures durability and minimizes signal interference, thereby maximizing data integrity during transmission.

On the other hand, the RJ-9 connector, also known as the RJ-9 or RJ-10 connector, is typically used in telephone and headset applications. Characterized by its smaller size and four or six pins, the RJ-9 is optimized for voice frequency communication. It connects devices such as telephones, headsets, and other VoIP equipment, delivering clear audio quality that is essential for effective communication.

One standout feature of the RJ-9 connector is its ability to provide superior noise resistance, making it ideal for environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Multi-Tech Systems' RJ-9 connectors are designed for ease of use, allowing quick and simple connections. These connectors can often be found in various telephony devices, ensuring that they remain a staple in personal, commercial, and industrial communication systems.

In conclusion, Multi-Tech Systems continues to lead in the provision of reliable RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors, integrating innovative technologies that enhance performance in data and voice communication. Whether in a high-speed networking environment or in everyday telephony applications, these connectors deliver the functionality and quality demanded by modern users. Their design and engineering reflect a commitment to excellence, helping users stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
