TCP/IP
IP Address | IP address for the Broadband Router, 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 Broadband Router is attached (the same |
| value as the PCs on that LAN segment). |
|
|
DHCP Server | ∙ If Enabled, the Broadband Router will allocate IP Addresses |
| 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 Broadband Router 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. |
