Wi-Fi Array
Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 201
DHCP Server
This window allows you to create, modify and delete DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) pools and enable or disable DHCP server functionality.
DHCP allows the Array to provide wireless clients with IP addresses and other
networking information. The DHCP server will not provide DHCP services to the
wired side of the network.
If you enable the DHCP server, you need to define the DHCP lease time (default
and maximum) and establish the IP address range that the DHCP server can use.
