LAN Settings
You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your client
PCs, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or protocols.
The BARRICADE must have an IP address for the local network.
The LAN Settings parameters are listed below.
Parameter
Description
Wireless Router IP
Address
IP Address

DHCP IP Address
Pool
The DHCP IP Address Pool is the range of IP addresses set
aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your
network.
Start IP
This field indicates the first of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
End IP
This field indicates the last of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
Domain Name
The domain name is the name you assign to your network.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer. Setting lease times for shorter
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after
the specified period of time. This also means that a particular
computer’s IP address may change over time. If you have set
any advanced features such as DMZ, this is dependent on the
IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address
to change.

Dynamic IP
The Host name is optional, but may be required by some Service
Provider’s. The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface
on the BARRICADE.
If required by your Service Provider, you can use the
Clone MAC
Address
button to copy the MAC address of the Network Interface Card
(NIC) installed in your PC to replace the WAN MAC address.
If necessary, you can use the
Renew
button on the Status page to renew
the WAN IP address.
Note:
Make sure you record the MAC address that you clone, so that if
you lose your settings you will be able to re-connect to the
Internet.

Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by
some service providers. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define
a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is
maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than
the Maximum Idle Time, then it will be dropped. You can enable the
