Chapter 7 Home Networking Table 28 Network Setting > Home Networking > LAN Setup (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION DHCP Select Enable to have your Device assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are DHCP clients. If you select Disable, you need to manually configure the IP addresses of the computers and other devices on your LAN. When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set. IP Addressing Values IP Pool Starting Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool. DNS Values DNS Server 1-3 Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the Device's WAN IP address). Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. Apply Cancel Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings. 7.3 The Static DHCP Screen This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses. Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. 7.3.1 Before You Begin Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the Static DHCP screen.

7.3
The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
7.3.1
Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the
Static DHCP
screen.
DHCP
Select
Enable
to have your Device assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway
and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are DHCP clients.
If you select
Disable
, you need to manually configure the IP addresses of the
computers and other devices on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
IP Addressing Values
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DNS Values
DNS Server 1-3
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and
the Device's WAN IP address).
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined
, but
leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you
click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same
IP address, the second
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have
another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS
server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server,
you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
