TCP/IP
IP Address IP address for the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router, as seen
from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is al-
ready 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.
Subnet Mask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router is
attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
•
If Enabled, the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless 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 SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router as the Gateway.
See the following section for further details.
•
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.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
