LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Enable DHCP	Enable or Disable DHCP for LAN.
Server	DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC
	2132) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP
	configuration at startup from a server. Leave the Enable DHCP
	Server check box selected unless your ISP instructs you to do
	otherwise. Clear it to disable the NBG-417N acting as a DHCP
	server. When configured as a server, the NBG-417N provides TCP/
	IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and
	you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
	computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill
	in the following four fields.
IP Pool Starting	This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
Address	address pool for LAN.
Pool Size	This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-417N.
Reset	Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
