TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the Wireless DSL/Cable Router, as seen from the local
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your
LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an
unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the DSL/Cable Router is attached (the same value as
the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
• If Enabled, the DSL/Cable Router will allocate IP Addresses to
PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default
(and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the DSL/Cable Router as the Gateway. See the following sec-
tion for further details.
• The
Start IP Address
and
Finish IP Address
fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
