TCP/IP

IP Address	IP address for the TW100-BRM504, 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 TW100-BRM504 is attached (the same value as
	the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server	• If Enabled, the TW100-BRM504 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 TW100-BRM504 as the default Gateway. See the follow-
	ing section for further details.
	• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
	used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
	clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
	supported.
	See the following section for further details on using DHCP.

DHCP

What 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).

•The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address.
