DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server automatically
assigns IP addresses to each computer on your network. Unless you already
have one, it is highly recommended that your router be set up as a DHCP
server.
• DHCP Server Check the Enable option to enable the DHCP server
option of the router. If you already have a DHCP server on your network,
set the router's DHCP option to Disable.
• Starting IP Address Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to
start with when issuing IP addresses.
• Number of DHCP users Enter the maximum number of PCs that you
want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to, with the absolute maxi-
mum being 253.
• DHCP Clients Table Click on the Clients Table button to show the cur-
rent DHCP Client information. (This information is stored in temporary
memory, so the list of clients could disappear.)
