Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable has a

DHCP Server

for which the factory setting is

active. As a result, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the
Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable.

ì

To activate the DHCP server, select On.

ì

If the DHCP server is active, you can define a Lease time. The

Lease time

determines

the period for which the PCs keep the IP address assigned to them without changing
them.

ì

Define the range of IP addresses which the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable should
use to automatically assign IP addresses to PCs. Define the First issued IP address
and the Last issued IP address.

ì

You can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the Domain name
field.

Assigning static IP addresses to individual PCs

Even if you have activated the DHCP server you can still assign individual PCs a static
IP address (e.g. if you are setting up these PCs for NAT functions).

ì

Enter the MAC address and the name of the PC in the Device name field.

ì

Enter the IP address you wish to assign to the PC in the field below.

ì

Click on the Add button to add the entry to the list.

ì

Click on the Delete button to delete the entry from the list.

ì

Apply the settings by clicking OK.

Please remember:
New settings can only be made after rebooting the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable.
If necessary, reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that is statically
assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.

Please remember:

u

If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is activated, you can con-
figure the network setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address
automatically
is set. To find out how to do this, please read the document enti-
tled “Network configuration” on the CD.

u

If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for
the PCs using the network settings.

Please remember:
If you select the Never expires option, the IP addresses are never changed.
You must select this option if you want to make NAT or firewall settings using the
IP addresses of the PCs, or else you must assign these PCs static IP addresses.
