Configuring the Advanced Settings
ìIf you want to assign the Gigaset SE366 WLAN a different IP address, enter it in the fields next to IP address.
ìIf you want to use a different subnet mask, enter it in the Subnet mask field. Only the last field can be changed.
We recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This address block is 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.255.254.
Note:
New settings only take effect after rebooting the Gigaset SE366 WLAN. If neces- sary, reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that is statically assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.
Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN has a DHCP server, which is enabled on delivery. As a result, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset SE366 WLAN.
Note:
uIf the Gigaset SE366 WLAN's DHCP server is activated, you can configure the net- work setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address automatically is set. To find out how to do this, please refer to the document “Configuring the local network” on the CD.
uIf you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the PCs via the network settings.
ìTo activate the DHCP server, select On.
ìIf the DHCP server is active, you can define a Lease time. The Lease time determines the period for which the PCs keep the IP addresses assigned to them without any change.
Note:
If you select the Never expires option, the IP addresses are never changed. You must select this option if you want to make NAT or firewall settings using the IP addresses of the PCs, or else you must assign these PCs static IP addresses.
ìDefine the range of IP addresses which the Gigaset SE366 WLAN should use to auto- matically assign IP addresses to PCs. Define the First issued IP address and the Last issued IP address.
ìYou can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the Domain name field.
