12.4.1.1 IP Address Distribution

The 'IP Address Distribution' section allows you to configure the device's Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters. The DHCP automatically assigns IP
addresses to network PCs. If you enable this feature, make sure that you also configure
your network PCs as DHCP clients. For a comprehensive description of this feature, see
Section 10.28.
Select one of the following options from the 'IP Address Distribution' drop-down list:
Parameter
DHCP Server Start IP Address The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host.
Since the device's default IP address is 192.168.2.1, this address must be
192.168.2.2 or greater.
End IP Address The last IP address in the range that can be used to automatically assign IP
addresses to LAN hosts.
Subnet Mask
A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs. An example
of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
Lease Time In Each device is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of
Minutes time, when it connects to the network. When the lease expires the server
determines if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the
server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This
feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use become available for
other computers on the network.
Provide Host Name If the DHCP client does not have a host name, the device automatically
If Not Specified by assigns one for him.
