Subnet Mask The default value is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server Setting
The HiPort can be used as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server for your network. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on
your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the HiPort enabled as a
DHCP server.
DHCP Server Setting
DHCP Server DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, set the
HiPort’s DHCP option to Disable. If you disable DHCP,
remember to assign a static IP address to the HiPort on
your computer.
While DHCP is enabled, if you want to assign a static IP
address to a client, click Static IP assign, then enter the
desired static IP address and the client’s MAC address.
Click Save Settings to save or Cancel Changes to cancel.
Static IP Assignment
Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
default IP address for the HiPort is 192.168.29.1, the Start
IP Address must be 192.168.29.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.29.254. The default Start IP Address is
192.168.29.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users Enter the maximum
number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is 64.
