DNS Resolving
DNS Auto:
Selecting Enable will automatically set DNS Server 1 to the Ethernet address set in the LAN
configuration section. Selecting Disable will allow different DNS server IP addresses to be set.
DNS Server 1 IP Address:
Ethernet IP address of the preferred DNS server.
DNS Server 2 IP Address:
Ethernet address of the alternate DNS server.
DHCP Configuration
DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; a protocol used by client devices that are connected to the
LAN port of this device to automatically obtain an IP address assigned by this device. Selecting
Enable will configure this device to assign IP addresses to client devices taken from a pool specified
by the values entered in DHCP start range and DHCP end range. Selecting Disable will turn off the
DHCP server functionality.
DHCP start range:
DHCP server starting IP address. The default start range is set to 192.168.1.100.
DHCP end range:
DHCP server ending IP address. The default end range is set to 192.168.1.200. The largest settable
number is 253.
DHCP Lease Time:
Sets the duration, in seconds, the connected device is allowed to keep the assigned IP address. The
default lease time is set to 86400 seconds (24 hours). In many cases it is possible for the device to
receive the same IP address after the lease time expires.
PPPoE Setup
PPPoE:
Point To Point Protocol over Ethernet is used to establish internet connections using the Ethernet.
Selecting Enable will allow a PPP over Ethernet connection. Selecting Disable will shut off PPPoE
functionality. Click on the “Save” button to change the LAN settings.
Note that when PPPoE is enabled, the DHCP Server is automatically disabled. If the DHCP server is
enabled again after the PPPoE is disabled, the IP parameters will need to be re-entered.
After PPPoE has been enabled, a broadband connection can be created on the PC side. The following
steps show how to create a broadband network connection in Windows XP.
