TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the DC-202, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default
value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a
different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP
Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the DC-202 is attached (the same value as the PCs
on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
• If Enabled, the DC-202 will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP
clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recom-
mended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the DC-202 as the default Gateway. See the following sec-
tion for further details.
• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the
values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to
DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP cli-
ents supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
