Advanced User Interface
3. DHCP Server – The DHCP server function makes setting up a
network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the
network automatically. The default setting is "On". The DHCP server
can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you must
manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network.
To turn off the DHCP server, select "Off" and click "Apply Changes".
4. IP Pool – The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment
to the computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers).
If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new
starting and ending IP address and clicking on "Apply Changes".
The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This
means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100
computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at
150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting
IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
5. Lease Time – The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease
time set to "Forever". The default setting is "Forever", meaning that
any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server,
the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting
lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees
IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that
a particular computer's IP address may change over time. If you
have set any of the other advanced features of the N1 Vision such
as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address.
For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.
6. Local Domain Name – The default setting is "Belkin".
You can set a local domain name (network name) for your
network. There is no need to change this setting unless you
have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the
network anything you want such as "MY NETWORK".
