LAN Setup
Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. Use
LAN

DHCP Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the P-336M
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-336M provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the DHCP client. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP
server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

Default Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your P-
