9 DHCP Settings
Click to access the DHCP Setting page; you can set the mode for assigning IP
addresses in a LAN. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to the network devices. If
you are using the DHCP server, you need to do the configurations on the PC connecting
with the device. For details, see "Configuring the PC Network".
Ÿ IP Address: The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1.
Ÿ Subnet Mask: The combination of the subnet mask and IP address enables the flexible
subnetting. By default, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Ÿ DHCP Server: It is used to assign IP addresses dynamically. If the DHCP server is
Enabled, it can automatically assign IP addresses for PCs. It is recommended to select
Disabled for the DHCP server.
Ÿ Start IP Address/End IP Address: It is used to define the IP address range that the host
can use during the IP address assignment. For example, in the network segment
192.168.1.0/24, the default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1. The host IP address
can range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. The minimum range is a single IP address.
Ÿ DHCP Lease Time: The DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
device connected to the network. When the leased time expires, the DHCP server checks
whether the device is connected to the network. If the device is disconnected from the
network, the server assigns the IP address to another device. Thus, the IP address is not
wasted.
& Note:
Ÿ The Start IP Address must be smaller than or equal to the End IP Address.
Ÿ If the DHCP Server is Enabled, the configurations of Start IP Address, End
IP address, and DHCP Lease Time are valid; otherwise, you cannot configure
them.
