LAN Overview
Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses,
and partition your physical network into logical networks.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Gateway
This is the standard operating mode.
The P-330W takes on all the usual roles of
a home router, including NAT, DHCP Server, and Firewall.
Bridge
Select this to turn your P-330W into a pure bridge, directly linking all computers
on your network to the WAN.
In this mode, you have no protection from Internet
based threats.
Wireless ISP
In this mode, the wireless LAN is disabled and instead the wireless module is acts
as a client to connect to a Wireless ISP.
All the normal router functions are
enabled.

4.3.1
DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the P-
330W as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-330W provides the
TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another
DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
4.3.2
IP Pool Setup
The P-330W is pre-configured with a pool of 33 IP addresses starting from 192.168.10.33 to
192.168.10.65. This configuration leaves 32 IP addresses (excluding the P-330W itself) in the
lower range for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc.,
that you may have.
4.3.3
System DNS Servers
Refer to the
IP Address and Subnet Mask
section in the
Setup Wizard
chapter.
4.3.4
LAN TCP/IP
The P-330W has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to
systems that support DHCP client capability.
4.3.5
Factory LAN Defaults
The LAN parameters of the P-330W are preset in the factory with the following values:
IP address of 192.168.10.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
DHCP server enabled with 33 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.10.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit
DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need
to be configured.
4.3.6
IP Address and Subnet Mask
Refer to the
IP Address and Subnet Mask
section in the
Wizard Setup
chapter for this
information.

DESCRIPTION
IP Address
Type the IP address of your P-330W in dotted decimal notation 192.168.10.1
(factory default).
IP Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your P-
330W will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that
you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask
computed by the P-330W 255.255.255.0.
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a
server.

the P-330W acting as a DHCP server. When
configured as a server, the P-330W provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients.
If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computers must be manually configured. When set as a
server, fill in the following four fields.
DHCP Client Range
This field specifies the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Show DHCP Client
Push this button opens a new window which will show you a list of the clients that
have recieved an IP address from the internal DHCP server.

Type the MAC address of computer which you want to assign specific IP on you
LAN.
Lease IP Address
Type the IP address that you want to assign the computer on your LAN.
