This page allows you to configure the local network settings of the 
DWR-923. In most cases the default settings should be sufficient. In 
this section you can configure the TCP/IP details for the LAN. 
Note:
The settings on this page will affect all devices that are 
connected to the router
’
s LAN including wireless LAN clients. All 
connected LAN hosts must be in the same subnet and use the new LAN 
address to access the User Configuration Interface. 
IP Address: 
Enter the local network IP address for the DWR-923. The 
Subnet Mask:
The subnet mask along with the previously configured IP 
address defines the network. The default value for subnet mask is 
255.255.255.0. 
Host Name:
The default host name is DWR-923.

DHCP
Basic 
By default, the DWR-923 will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol) server. As such it will provide TCP/IP 
configuration to client computers connected to the local network. 
IPv4 Address Distribution: 
Specify the number of devices/computers in your network
: Enter the 
number of local network computers (including those connecting over 
Wi-Fi) and the DHCP server will calculate the number of leases 
required for the network. 
Start IP distribution from
: Define the starting range of the IP address. 
The DHCP server will iterate the DHCP IP addresses to be given out by 
taking into account the starting IP address range and the configured 
number of devices in your network.

DHCP Reservation 
IP addresses can be reserved so that a particular IP address is always 
allocated to a particular computer in the local network. This allows 
devices such as printers and VoIP phones to be assigned the same IP 
address from the DHCP server when they come online, which is critical 
for hostname mapping and port mapping rules. This is achieved by 
binding the unique hardware ID of the device, called the MAC address, 
to an IP address in the DHCP server reserved IP address list. 
List of Reserved IP Address: 
MAC Address
: The MAC address of the computer or local network 
device. 
IP Address
: The reserved IP address to associate with the above MAC 
address. 
Click Add to add a reserved IP, or select an item and click Edit to modify 
or click Delete to delete the selected item.
