This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 10. 22 22 AAM6010EV-T4 User Manual The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses and the End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of minutes; the default value is 3600 sec (60 minutes). Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet as the CPEs IP address. Figure 10 (DHCP Server configuration) In addition to the DHCP server feature, the CPE supports the DHCP relay function. When the CPE is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the CPE is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server. See figure 11. Figure 11 (Example of a DHCP Relay configuration) By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer and your CPE must be on the same subnet as all the other computers. 23 23 AAM6010EV-T4 User Manual The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. 4. 5. 2 Changing the CPEs IP address You can change the CPE's IP address by going to the Home screen, click setup and under LAN Setup, select Management. 4. 5. 2. 1 Static IP address assignment Your CPE's default IP address and subnet mask are 192. 168. 1. 1/255. 255. 255. 0; this subnet mask will allow the CPE to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users you can change the subnet mask; but remember. Further remember that if you change your CPEs' IP address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same subnet The default CPE is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet. Figure 12 shows a default CPE address of 192. 168. 1. 1 because this was the default CPE defined when the CLIP connection was configured. The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is used to in conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the CPE. To access the CPE's web pages the user can type 192. 168. 1. 1 (the CPE's default IP address) or type mygateway.

[. . . ] However, in some cases, you can allow incoming connections so that you can run programs like a web server. Your ISP provides you with a single network address for you to access the Internet through. However, you may have several machines on your local network that want to access the Internet at the same time. The router provides NAT functionality that converts your local network addresses to the single network address provided by your ISP. [. . . ]
