What is DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to
a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
•
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
Figure 6: LAN Screen
IP address for the ADW-4302v2, 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.
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 ADW-4302v2 is attached (the same value
as the PCs on that LAN segment).
•
If Enabled, the ADW-4302v2 will allocate IP Addresses to
PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The
default (and recommended) 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 ADW-4302v2 as the default Gateway.
See the following section for further details.
•
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the
values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Ad-
dresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the
number of DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
