Chapter 4 Configuring Advanced Settings

We strongly recommend leaving the

DHCP

Server option On. If the

DHCP

Server

option is Off, ensure the

addresses of the networked computers are on the same

subnet as the

address of the Modem. For more information, see “

DHCP

Server

Configuration.”

DHCP Server Configuration

Clicking in the check box labeled “I would like to adjust the

DHCP

server settings”

activates the text boxes at the bottom of the

DHCP

Settings screen. Change the

address range and

DNS

server information in these text boxes.

Beginning IP Address
This is the

address at which the

DHCP

server starts assigning

addresses. We

recommend keeping the factory default setting (192.168.1.64).

Ending IP Address
This is the

address at which the

DHCP

server stops assigning

addresses. We

recommend keeping the factory default settings (

192.168.1.254

The beginning and ending

addresses define the

address range of the

Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique

address between 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.254 to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The

address of the Modem must

be on the same subnet as the

address range it generates. For instance, if the

Modem’s

address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning

address to

10.33.222.2, and the ending

address to 10.33.222.254.

Subnet Mask
Enter the

address of the

DHCP

server’s subnet mask here.

Lease Time
This value represents the amount of time (in seconds) the

DHCP

server holds

onto a specific

address.
