8. Select the default gateway port from the Interface option menu.
The default gateway port can be one of the active PPP channels or a
specified IP address defined in Default Address field (see step 9.).
9. Enter IP address for your default gateway if you selected
’ip-address’ in step 8.
10. Enter domain name server settings.
A domain name server is a network computer responsible for
matching host names to numeric IP addresses so that network
traffic can be routed correctly. These fields are set if DNS
addresses are not allocated dynamically. Consult your service
provider for further assistance.
Domain names identify organisations on the Internet. The domain
name is usually the domain name of your company or your ISP.
If secondary name server address is configured the M10 relays the
name service request to that server if the primary name server is
unavailable.
11. Enable/disable DHCP server.
As a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server your M10
can assign IP addresses to other devices on your LAN. If you want
your M10 to assign IP addresses, enter the first number of the IP
address range in the Start Address field and the last number of the
IP address range to the End Address field. Lease Time indicates
how often the PC will renew the DHCP lease.
If you want your M10 to relay the DHCP request to an external
server you can do this by enabling relay-agent and entering the
server’s IP address to the Server Address field.
Note If you use M10 as a DHCP server, you should assign IP
addresses outside the M10’s DHCP address range to
devices requiring static IP addresses. Before M10
assigns an IP address to a DHCP client, it verifies that
no other device is using that address. However,
network conflicts can result when the M10 assigns an
address in its DHCP range to one device and the
another device configured to use that address is turned
on.
