IP Settings
IP Address &
Subnet Mask
The IP address of Pepwave MAX on LAN.
Speed
This setting specifies the speed of the LAN Ethernet Port.
By default, Auto is selected and the appropriate data speed is automatically
detected by Pepwave MAX.
In the event of negotiation issues, the port speed can be manually specified to
circumvent the issues. You can also choose whether or not to advertise the
speed to the peer by selecting the Advertise Speed checkbox.
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server of Pepwave MAX automatically
assigns an IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and is
configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
Pepwave MAX’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on LAN.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
This setting allocates a range of IP address that will be assigned to LAN
computers by the DHCP server of Pepwave MAX.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a
DHCP client remains valid. Upon expiration of the Lease Time, the assigned IP
address will no longer be valid and the renewal of the IP address assignment will
be required.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to the
DHCP clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave
MAX’s built-in DNS server address (i.e. LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Server
This option allows you to specify the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS
servers.
When this unit is Site-to-Site VPN connected, other VPN peers can share this
unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP
WINS Servers setting. Therefore, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the
NetBIOS names of other clients in remote peers.
If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at Status >
WINS Clients.
Extended DHCP
Option
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g. DNS server address, gateway
address, subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional Extended DHCP
Options defined in RFC 2132. In this case, you can pass additional configuration
information to LAN hosts.
To define an Extended DHCP Option, click the Add button, choose the option that
you want to define and enter its value. For values that are in IP address list
format, you can enter one IP address per line in the provided text area input
control. Each option is allowed to be defined once only.
