IP Address

IP address for the ADE-4300/ADW-4300, 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 ADE-4300/ADW-4300 is attached (the

 

same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).

 

 

DHCP Server

∙ If Enabled, the ADE-4300/ADW-4300 will allocate IP Ad-

 

dresses 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 ADE-4300/ADW-4300 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 Ad-

 

dresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the

 

number of DHCP clients supported.

 

See the following section for further details on using DHCP.

 

 

DHCPWhat DHCP Does

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.

∙The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
