Chapter 3 Using Advanced Settings
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “DHCP Server”screen generates the “DHCP Server
Configuration” screen. Change IP address range and DNS server information here.
Beginning IP Address - the IP address at which the DHCP server
starts assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the
factory default setting (192.168.0.2).
Ending
IP Address - the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops
assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the facto-
ry default settings (192.168.0.254).
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the
Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on its network.
Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical; this
means they are on the same subnet. The IP address of the Modem must be on
the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the
Modem’s IP address is changed to 111.33.222.1,set the beginning IP address to
111.33.222.2, and the ending IP address to 111.33.222.254.
