DHCP Server

To dynamically assign an IP address to client PCs,
enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Server.

If you wish you can Specify the Name of your
DHCP Server (Optional)

Lease Time

Specify the length of time that the DHCP will
assign an IP address to a computer for.

Start IP

Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool. Do
not include the gateway address of the Modem-
Router in the client address pool. (See “TCP/IP
Configuration”). If you attempt to include the
Modem-Router gateway address (10.1.1.1 by
default) in the DHCP pool, an error dialog box
will appear. If you change the pool range, make
sure the first three octets match the gateway’s IP
address, i.e., 10.1.1.xxx.

End IP

Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool.

Domain Name

If your network uses a domain name, enter it here.
Otherwise, leave this field blank.

DHCP Client List
The DHCP Clients List
displays the IP Address,
Host Name and MAC
Address of each client
that has requested an IP
address since the last
reboot of the Modem-
Router. Check the FIX box
to have the IP address and
the MAC address linked
so that the IP address will
always be assigned as it is
on this screen.

NAT
From this section you can configure the Virtual Server, and Special
Application features that provide control over the TCP/ UDP port
openings in the Modem-Router’s firewall. This section can be used to
support several Internet based applications such as web, email, FTP,
and Telnet.

NAT Settings
NAT allows one or more
public IP addresses to be
shared by multiple internal
users. You can enable
or disable NAT here.
Recommended setting =
Enable.
