II 1.8 - 7.2 - 7.2 S
REFERENCE MANUAL
Assuming you have chosen DHCP Server, complete the following fields:
‘Start IP Address’
The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host. Since the gateway’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1,
this address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater.
‘End IP Address’
The last IP address in the range that can be used to automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
‘Subnet Mask’
A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs. An example of a subnet mask value is
255.255.0.0.
‘Lease Time In Minutes’
Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to the
network. When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network.
If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly connected computer. This feature ensures that IP
addresses that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.
‘Provide Host Name If Not Specified by Client’
If the DHCP client does not have a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him.
