ROUTING
2. To enable the DHCP server, select DHCP Server in the IP
Address Distribution fi eld.
Once enabled, the DHCP server provides automatic IP
assignments (IP leases) based on the preset IP range defi ned
below.
3. To confi gure the DHCP server complete the following fi elds:
• Start IP Address – enter the fi rst IP address that your
Gateway will automatically begin assigning IP addresses
from. Since your Gateway’s default IP address is
192.168.1.1, the default start IP address should be
192.162.1.2.
• End IP Address – enter the last IP address that your
Gateway will automatically stop the IP address allocation.
The maximum end IP address range that can be entered is
192.168.1.254.
• WINS Server – determines the IP address associated with
a network device.
• Lease Time in Minutes – assigns the amount of time in
minutes that each device is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server when it connects to the network.
When the lease expires, the server determines if the
computer has disconnected from the network. If it has,
the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-
connected computer.
• Provide Host Name if Not Specifi ed by Client – when
activated, your Gateway assigns a default name to the
client, if the DHCP client has no host name.
