LAN
Click the LAN option on the main menu to reach the LAN configuration. An example screen is shown below.
Parameters
TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the WRT-413, 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.
Subnet Mask
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 WRT-413 is attached (the same value as the PCs
on that LAN segment).

DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or
device) upon request.
Figure 6: LAN Screen
If Enabled, the WRT-413 will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and
recommended) value is Enabled.
If you have already a DHCP Server, this setting must be "Dis-
abled", and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the WRT-413 as the default Gateway. See the following sec-
tion for further details.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
