4.4.5 DHCP
The DHCP section allows you to configure the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server parameters of the GlobeSurfer 3G. The DHCP auto-
matically assigns IP addresses to network PCs. If you enable this feature, make
sure that you also configure every network PC as DHCP Client.
Figure 4.61: IP Address Distribution
Select one of the following options from the DHCP drop down menu:
• DHCP server
Start IP address Specify the IP address from which the gateway starts
issuing addresses. Since the gateway's default IP address is 192.168.1.1,
the Start IP address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater.
End IP address Specify the end of the IP address range that can be used
to automatically issue IP addresses.
Subnet mask The subnet mask determines which portion of a destina-
tion LAN IP address is the network portion, and which portion is
the host portion.
WINS server IP address If you use a Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS), specify the WINS server address in this field.
Lease time in minutes This is duration of time a network user will be al-
lowed connection to the gateway with its currently issued dynamic
IP address. Just before the time is up, the user will automatically
request to extend the lease or get a new IP address.
Provide host name if not specified by client Mark this check box if you
want the gateway to automatically assign network PCs with a host
name, in case a host name is not provided by the user.
