User Manual
|
| subnet allows the router to support 254 users. If you want to |
|
| support a larger number of users you can change the subnet |
|
| mask. |
|
|
|
| Default Gateway | The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all |
|
| traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet. |
|
| Your ISP provides you with the IP address of the default gateway. |
|
|
|
| Host Name | The host name is used in conjunction with the domain name to |
|
| uniquely identify the router. It can be any alphanumeric word that |
|
| does not contain spaces. |
|
|
|
| Domain | The domain name is used in conjunction with the host name to |
|
| uniquely identify the router. To access the web pages of the |
|
| router you can type 192.168.1.1 (the IP address) or |
|
| mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain). |
|
|
|
Enable DHCP Server |
| Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your router has the DHCP |
|
| server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a DHCP server |
|
| running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP |
|
| servers. |
|
|
|
| Assign ISP DNS, | Enable/disables the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature when the |
| SNTP | DHCP server of your router has been enabled. To learn more, |
|
| please refer to Assign ISP DNS, SNTP. |
|
|
|
| Start IP | The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP |
|
| addresses. This value must be greater than the IP address value |
|
| of the router. For example, if the IP address of the router is |
|
| 192.168.1.1 (default), then the starting IP address must be |
|
| 192.168.1.2 (or higher). |
|
|
|
| End IP | The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP |
|
| addresses. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of |
|
| 254; hence the max value for the default gateway is |
|
| 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, |
|
| users do not get access to network resources. If this happens, |
|
| you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or |
|
| reduce the lease time. |
|
|
|
| Lease Time | The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network user is |
|
| allowed to maintain a network connection to the router using the |
|
| current dynamic IP address. At the end of the Lease Time, the |
|
| lease is either renewed or the DHCP server issues a new IP. The |
|
| amount of time is in units of seconds. The default value is 3600 |
|
| seconds (1 hour). The maximum value is 999999 seconds |
|
| (About 278 hours). |
