Advanced Setup
Gigaset WLAN Repeater/ englisch / A31008-E505-B105-1-7619 / advanced_config.fm / 08.03.2004
Depending on the configuration of your network, it may be better to deactivate the
Gigaset WLAN Repeater's integrated DHCP server.
ì
To do this, select for
DHCP server
the option
Off
.
However, this only necessary, if
– Another DHCP server is being used in your network and it assigns IP addresses in
the same address block as your Gigaset WLAN Repeater.
– You are using more than one Gigaset WLAN Repeater in the same network. Make
sure you change the IP addresses of the other Gigaset WLAN Repeater (follow the
example on page 49).
– The IP addresses in your network are static, i.e. you have manually assigned every
network component a static IP address.
If your network does not have a DHCP server yet, then you can use the DHCP server inte-
grated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater to assign the IP addresses of the connected
devices automatically.
ì
In this case, select for
DHCP server
the option
On
.
If you have activated the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater, you
should also check the following settings and make any changes that are necessary.
ì
In
Lease time
, specify how long the PCs should retain the assigned IP addresses
before changing them. For small networks you can set the connection time to
Unlimited
. This means that an IP address is assigned for an unlimited period of time.
ì
The values
Start / end IP
define the range of IP addresses that your Gigaset WLAN
Repeater should use to automatically assign IP addresses to PCs.
Please remember:
u
If you use your Gigaset WLAN Repeater in Repeater mode and opt for automatic
address assignment for the connected PCs, make sure that the DHCP server of
your Access Point has been activated. The devices connected via the Gigaset
WLAN Repeater will then use it automatically.
u
If you operate your Gigaset WLAN Repeater in Access point mode, it also depends
on your network whether you should use the integrated DHCP server or not. If
there is already a DHCP server, this can also be used.
