(DHCP) (continued)
Notes:
The Add Static IP button adds the Static IP address to the list
of factory assigned IP addresses.
The Remove Static IP button removes the Static IP address
from the list of assigned IP addresses
Starting IP Address. Displays the starting address used by the
built-in DHCP server to distribute Private LAN IP addresses.
Because the device default IP address is 192.168.0.1, the
starting IP address must be 192.168.0.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.0.253.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users: Enter the maximum
number of users to which the DHCP server can assign IP
addresses for use in the LAN. This number cannot be greater
than 254 minus the starting IP address described above.
Client Lease Time: The amount of time an IP address is valid.
IP address leases are renewed automatically by your PC and
other devices that use DHCP to obtain IP addresses.
If a lease is allowed to expire, the IP address will be returned to
the pool of available IP addresses that can be assigned by the
DHCP server as new devices are added to your network. The
default is 60 minutes when the gateway is online.
LAN Static DNS (Domain Name Server) 1-3: DNS is used by a
PC or other client devices to locate the public IP address
associated with a URL or the name-based address of a website.
You can manually specify which DNS servers are to be used by
devices in your network by entering the servers’ IP addresses.
Otherwise, the gateway will forward the DNS server information
from the Cox Business Internet service automatically. The
default is to leave these fields blank.

1. Log in to the system and click the Setup menu in the toolbar and the LAN Setup

2. Use the information in the Field Description column in the table above to help you
