your N199.

Server fields.
Dynamic: If there is already a DHCP server on your network,
you can let the DHCP server assign an IP address to your N199.

detected on the LAN network, the IP address of the N199 will
reset to the default setting of 192.168.1.100.

ASDL modem through PPPoE. Once selected, you will need to
enter a User Name and Password.

• Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where
all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled.
• Enabling DHCP automatically turns on UPnP — See the Service Support
Screen.
• If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP Sharing
Mode. This will result in higher throughput.
• A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP.
NOTE
WARNING
Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and
you will not be able to connect to your N199 after Jumbo Frame is turned on. If this
happens, turn off the N199. Then, power on the N199 and immediately press and
hold the Reset button on the front of the unit for 10 seconds. This will reset your
network settings, password, and turn off Jumbo Frame Support.
