| TCP/IP |
| IP Address |
IP address for the Broadband Router, 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. |
| Network Mask |
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment to which the Broadband Router is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment. |
| DHCP Server |
- If Enabled, the Broadband Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (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 Broadband Router as the Gateway.
- 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.
