CONFIGURING THE ADSL ROUTER

LAN

Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.

Parameter

Description

IP Address

The IP address of the ADSL Router.

IP Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the network.

DHCP Server

The ADSL Router comes with the DHCP function. Enable

 

this function to dynamically assign an IP address to client PCs.

Lease Time

Set the IP lease time. For home networks this may be set to

 

Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address

 

lease.

Start IP Address

Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool. Do not include

 

the gateway address of the ADSL Router in the client address

 

pool. If you change the pool range, make sure the first three

 

octets match the gateway’s IP address, i.e., 192.168.2.xxx.

End IP Address

Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool.

Domain Name

If your network uses a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise,

 

leave this field blank.

Note: Remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic address allocation. (See page 3-2 for details.)
