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.
