The
AP-5131 can be configured to function as a DHCP server over
the LAN1 or LAN2 connection. Select the This interface is a
DHCP Server button and manually enter static network address

Address Assignment
Range
Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range of
numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for mapping
client MAC addresses to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP
address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid this,
ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
Advanced DHCP
Server
Click the Advanced DHCP Server button to display a screen used
for generating a list of static MAC to IP address mappings for
reserved clients. A separate screen exists for each of the AP-5131
LANs. For more information, see Configuring Advanced DHCP
Server Settings on page 5-11.
IP Address The network-assigned
numerical (non DNS name) IP address of
the
AP-5131.
Network Mask The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain, the next

values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing
and data transmission. The subnet mask defines the size of the
subnet.

numerical (non
DNS name)
IP address of a router the AP-5131 uses on the
Ethernet as its default gateway.
