Section 3 - Configuration

Static Pool Setting

The DHCP address pool defines the range of IP

addresses that can be assigned to stations on the

network. A static pool allows specific wireless stations

to receive a fixed IP without time control.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

assigns IP addresses to wireless devices on

the network. This protocol simplifies network

management and allows new wireless devices

to receive IP addresses automatically without

the need to manually assign IP addresses.

Select

Enable

to allow the DAP-2553 to

function as a DHCP server.

Use the Static Pool Settings to assign the same

IP address to a device every time you start up.

The IP addresses assigned in the Static Pool

list must NOT be in the same IP range as the

Dynamic Pool. After you have assigned a static

IP address to a device via its MAC address, click

Apply

; the device will appear in the Assigned

Static Pool at the bottom of the screen. You can

edit or delete the device in this list.

Enter the MAC address of the device requesting association here.

Define the submask of the IP address specified in the “IP Assigned From” field.
