Automatic IP address assignment (DHCP)
The DHCP page is used to adjust the settings used by the router’s built in DHPC Server which assigns IP addresses to locally
connected devices.
DHCP relay configuration
In advanced networks configurations where the MachineLink 3G Router should not be responsible for DHCP assignment, but
instead an existing DHCP server is located on the Wireless WAN connection, the clients behind the MachineLink 3G are able to
communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the MachineLink 3G to accept client broadcast
messages and to forward them onto another subnet.
To configure the router to act as a DHCP relay agent click the
DHCP relay toggle key to turn it ON and enter the DHCP server
address into the
DHCP server address field. DHCP relay is disabled by default.
