Settings
To view or edit the LAN Settings select LAN followed by Settings in the Navigation panel - the LAN
Settings page appears:
Most users will not need to change anything on this page. However, if necessary, you can define the IP
Address and Netmask of the VoloFone VF100 as well as Enable or Disable the DHCP Server together
with the IP Range (assigned by the DHCP Server) and the Lease Time of the IP Address.
The VoloFone™ VF100 incorporates a DHCP server that assigns dynamic IP addresses to local clients
(computers connected to the VoloFone™ VF100). The IP addresses are allocated from the predefined
range of addresses defined on this page. The default address range is suitable for most local networks.
The DHCP server allocates the IP address for the term of the Lease Time defined on this page. The lease
is the amount of time that an IP address is valid for a specific device. If the lease expires and the device is
still connected, the lease is automatically renewed.
VPN
The VoloFone VF100 can be configured as a VPN (Virtual Private Network) Host. To do this, proceed as
follows:
Select LAN followed by VPN in the Navigation panel - the VPN Page appears:
Select Enabled from the drop-down list.
Click the Apply button - the VPN page reappears with the VPN configuration items ready for you to
complete.
