3.1.2 Local Port
Configure your gateway’s Local Port IP address here. The Local Port must be a private IP ad- dress. (10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x are reserved for LAN use).
Field  | Description  | 
Subnet Mask  | The subnet mask determines the number of com-  | 
  | puters that are allowed in this network. A class C  | 
  | network with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 allows  | 
  | maximum 253 users (the gateway is already using the  | 
  | 192.168.1.1) in your local area network. Usually a  | 
  | class C network is satisfactory for a local network.  | 
DHCP server  | To enable the DHCP server, please click the check  | 
  | box. The DHCP server assigns dynamic IP address to  | 
  | the clients.  | 
Start IP address | Specify the start of the IP address for DHCP users.  | 
  | The default value is 192.168.1.2. (Please make sure  | 
  | there is no fixed IP address within the range you as-  | 
  | signed here on the LAN, otherwise the DHCP client  | 
  | cannot get the IP address correctly.)  | 
Number of IP address | Assign the number of users allowed to use the DHCP  | 
  | service. The default value is 128 users.  |
