Table 7-5 lists and describes the fields to use for setting up TCP/IP and DHCP parameters in
Menu 3.2. When you finish entering information in all of the fields, press [Enter] at the prompt
Press ENTER to Confirm. Your selections are saved. Press [Esc] at any time to cancel the entries
you have made.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through Telnet,
you lose the Telnet session. You must then open a new Telnet connection to the new IP
address and log in again.

Description
If set to Server, the router acts as a DHCP server.
If set to None, the router's DHCP server is disabled.
This field is the beginning of the range of addresses to assign.
This field is the number of sequential addresses available for
assignment to attached hosts. The maximum is 32.
If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to
attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,
the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS
Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.
If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address
to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.
Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal
notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,
for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must
have a unique IP address.
An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The
IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written
in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask
for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a
special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by
the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
