Using the Web manager
The DHCP server function is useful for auto-
configuration of wired and wireless clients. The
default server settings enable the Internet
access features of the unit.
In order to be enabled, the DHCP server
requires that a pool of IP addresses be defined.
The minimum pool size is one address and the
maximum 64. However, it is recommended that
no fewer than 8 addresses be assigned to the
pool for normal operation.
This field defines the starting IP address of the pool. It is
important that the IP address chosen is a valid address
for the local IP subnet and on the same IP subnet as the
A032's own IP address.
This field defines the number of addresses in the pool. To
disable the DHCP function enter
Disable DHCP).
These fields may be left as default for most applications.
The default setting causes the DHCP server to instruct
the clients to use the A032 as their gateway and (proxy)
DNS server. This is required for normal Internet access
through the A032. If you have another gateway or DNS
server and are not using the Internet Access function of
the A032, you can override the default values by
inserting the appropriate IP address in these fields. These
fields should be filled in with the gateway address and
DNS Server address as appropriate for the local subnet.
