Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are explained in the following table.
Settings Description
Device Name
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address The LAN IP address of the router.
IP Subnet Mask The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address,
the
IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses
are local to it, and which needs to be reached through a gateway or
router.
DHCP Server
For more
in
fo
rmation, see
DHCP Settings
on page 86.
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the router functions as a
Dyn
a
mic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See DHCP
Settings on page 86.
S
tarting IP Address Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same su
bnet as the router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see DHCP Settings
on page 86.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the
LA
N, that computer receives the same IP address each time it
accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses
to servers that require permanent IP settings.
DHCP Settings
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses
specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate
addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check
box on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling
in the Starting IP Address and
Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range
between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range
for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the
range you have defined.
