5.3 LAN

Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses,
and partition your physical network into logical networks.

5.3.1 DHCP Setup

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the P-330W
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-330W provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server
on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

5.3.2 IP Pool Setup

The P-330W is pre-configured with a pool of 33 IP addresses starting from 192.168.10.33 to
192.168.10.65. This configuration leaves 32 IP addresses (excluding the P-330W itself) in the
lower range for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc.,
that you may have.

5.3.3 System DNS Servers

Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Setup Wizard chapter.

5.3.4 LAN TCP/IP

The P-330W has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to
systems that support DHCP client capability.

5.3.5 Factory LAN Defaults

The LAN parameters of the P-330W are preset in the factory with the following values:
52
DESCRIPTION
This is the standard operating mode. The P-330W takes on all the usual roles of
a home router, including NAT, DHCP Server, and Firewall.
Select this to turn your P-330W into a pure bridge, directly linking all computers
on your network to the WAN. In this mode, you have no protection from Internet
based threats.
In this mode, the wireless LAN is disabled and instead the wireless module is
acts as a client to connect to a Wireless ISP. All the normal router functions are
enabled.
