3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically.
The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if
necessary, however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP
address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server,
select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4. IP Pool
The IP Pool is the range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment
to the computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If
you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting
and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server
can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot
specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting
at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-
client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending
IP address.
