What DHCP Does
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 IAD-200 / IAD-200W, 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 IAD-200 / IAD-200W is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
•
If Enabled, the IAD-200 / IAD-200W will allocate IP Addresses
to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The de-
fault (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 IAD-200 / IAD-200W 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 Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
