Range: x.x.x.y, where 0 ≤ x≤ 255 and 1 ≤ y≤ 254
5.3 LAN Configuration
The LAN configuration page allows you to set the configuration for the LAN port.
LAN IP Address & Subnet Mask: The LAN IP Address is what the computer uses to identify and
communicate with the Router (this is the address you enter in the address bar of Internet Explorer to
access these pages). You can change this to another private IP address and subnet mask, such as
192.168.1.2 and 255.255.255.0.
Range: x.x.x.x, where 0 ≤ x≤ 255
Default is 10.0.0.2 and 255.0.0.0 (respectively)
5.3.1 DHCP Server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that allows network
administrators to manage and assign IP addresses to computers within the network. DHCP provides a
unique address to a computer in the network which enables it to connect to the Internet through Internet

DHCP server.
DHCP Server: Select Enabled (default) to activate DHCP Server.
DHCP Address Pool Selection: Two types of Address Pool selections are available, with System
Allocated as the default.
l
System Allocated: The DHCP address pool is based on LAN port IP address plus 12 IP addresses.
For example, when the LAN IP address is 10.0.0.2; the DHCP address pool the range from 10.0.0.3
to 10.0.0.14.
l
User Defined: When User Defined is selected, the DHCP address pool starts at the User Defined
Start Address and ends at the User Defined End Address. The maximum pool size can be 253 IP
addresses: 255 total IP addresses - 1 broadcast address - 1 LAN port IP address.
User Defined Start Address: It is the starting IP address of the DHCP pool for User Defined DHCP
Default: 0.0.0.0
