Description

DHCP Server

Enables (Yes) or disables (No) DHCP on the device. If No is

selected, all the static DHCP rules in this screen are ignored.

Starting Local Address

Defines the starting private IP address for the pool of IP

addresses that can be used by connecting clients. Private

addresses are translated to public IPs to be used on the

network.

Number of CPEs

Defines the maximum number of customer premises

equipment devices (CPE) that can connect to the network

through the DDW365.

Lease Time

Defines the DHCP lease time duration in minutes between 1

and 71582788. A DHCP user's PC gets an IP address with a

lease time. When the lease time expires, the PC must connect

to the DHCP server and be issued a new unused IP address.

Note:

The default DHCP lease time is 3600 seconds and

should be changed to

86400

seconds (24 hours). This helps

resolve connectivity issues with some iMAC and Windows 7

devices that turn off the network interface when they go into

standby mode. This results in slow Web browsing until the

device gets a new IP address via DHCP.

time since the client acquired the IP address. Expires is

assigned to this host statically when selected.
