DHCP Configuration

This screen contains the settings which control how the ADSL router interacts with the local devices connected to the router. Westell does not recommend that you change these settings. The following settings are displayed.

 

DHCP

DHCP Server

standard that allows the ADSL router to automatically assign IP

 

addresses to devices connected on the LAN network. It is advised

 

that this is enabled for Private LAN.

Diagnostic Log

 

Diagnostic Log

All

This option lists both the Connection and the System logs.

 

 

Connection

This option lists all events related to connection activity (any traffic on the USB,

 

Ethernet, or DSL ports).

System

This option lists all events related to system activity (time, errors, boot

 

information, etc.)

DNS Configuration

The Router has a built-in DNS server. The Router has a feature called "Dynamic DNS." When an IP address is assigned, the Router will interrogate the new device for a machine name using several well-known networking protocols. Any names learned will dynamically be added to the DNS server’s table of local hosts. A static host assignment is needed only if the new device does not support any of the well-known protocols. The following settings are displayed.
