Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “
DHCP
Server” screen (if the
DHCP
server is activated) generates
the “
DHCP
Server Configuration” screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server
information here.
Beginning IP Address
The “Beginning
IP
Address” is the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server starts
assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default setting
(
192.168.0.2
).
Ending IP Address
The “Ending
IP
Address” is the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server stops assign-
ing
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default settings
(
192.168.0.254
).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique
IP
address between
192.168.0.2
and
192.168.0.254
to each computer on the network.
Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical; this
means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Modem must be on
the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the Modem’s
IP
address is changed to
10.33.222.1
, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2
,
and the ending
IP
address to
10.33.222.254
.
DNS (Dynamic or Static)
These options designate the type of
DNS
server provided by the
ISP
. If the
ISP
provided
DNS
server information, select the type here. If not, leave as is.
