LAN IP Settings

You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to

use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private

network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the

Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP

address of the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will change

automatically if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information on

DHCP setup.

To access the

LAN Settings

menu, click the

LAN

button in the

Home

directory.

Configure LAN IP settings

To change the

LAN IP Address

or

LAN Network Mask

, type in the desired values and click the

Apply

button. Your web browser should automatically be redirected to the new IP address.

DHCP Server Settings for the LAN

Configure DHCP server settings for the LAN

The three options for DHCP service are as follows:

❧

You may use the Router as a DHCP server for your LAN.

❧

You can disable DHCP service and manually configure IP settings for workstations.

❧

You use DHCP service provided by your ISP.

Follow the instructions below according to which of the above DHCP options you want to use. When

you have configured the DHCP Settings as you want them, click the

Apply

button to commit the

new settings. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to

go into effect. To

Save & Reboot

the Router, click on the

Tools

directory tab and then click the

Save & Reboot

menu button. Click the

Reboot

button under

Force the DSL-504T to system

restart

. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will

automatically establish the WAN connection.

Use the Router for DHCP

To use the built-in DHCP server, click to select the

DHCP Server

option if it is not already selected.

The IP Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The

Starting IP Address

is the lowest available IP

address (default = 10.1.1.2). If you change the IP address of the Router this will change

automatically to be 1 more that the IP address of the Router. The

Ending IP Address

is the

highest IP address number in the pool. Type in the

Lease Time

in the entry field provided. This is

the amount of time in seconds that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in the pool if

the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.

Disable the DHCP Server

To disable DHCP, click to select the

No DHCP

option and click on the

Apply

button.

The DHCP server is enabled

by default for the Router

’

s

Ethernet

LAN

interface.

DHCP service will supply IP

settings

to

workstations

configured to automatically

obtain IP settings that are

connected to the Router

though the Ethernet port.

When the Router is used for

DHCP it becomes the default

gateway for DHCP client

connected to it. Keep in

mind that if you change the

IP address of the Router, you

must change the range of IP

addresses in the pool used

for DHCP on the LAN.

To display the

DHCP Server

menu, click the

DHCP

button

in

the

Home

directory.

Active DHCP Clients appear

listed in the

DHCP Client

List

below the configuration

menu.

Information

about

DHCP clients includes the IP

address, MAC address, host

name and lease time are

displayed in the list.

DHCP Relay

To use DHCP service from your ISP, select the

DHCP Relay

option and type the

DHCP Relay

IP

address in the space provided. Click

Apply

to begin DHCP relay from the ISP.

DNS Server Settings

The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another available service to

workstations on your LAN. When using DNS relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts

on the LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. DNS relay can use auto

discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually entered by the user. Alternatively, you may also

disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who

are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP

’

s network,

will leave DNS relay enabled (either auto discovery of user configured).

Configure DNS Settings

In the DNS Relay Selection pull-down menu, choose to

Use Auto Discovery

,

Use User Configured

or

Disable

DNS relay.

If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the Router is not pre-configured

with DNS server information, select the Auto Discover option for DNS relay. Auto discovery DNS

instructs the Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through DHCP. If

your WAN connection uses a Static IP address, auto discovery for DNS cannot be used.

If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, enter these IP addresses in the available entry

fields for the

Preferred DNS Server

and the

Alternative DNS Server

.

If you choose to disable DNS relay, it will be necessary to configure DNS settings for hosts on the

LAN since they will not be depending on the Router to forward the DNS requests.

When you have configured the DNS settings as desired, click the

Apply

button.
