need to be disabled if a DHCP server is already running on the LAN. The DHCP
Server is set to on by default.
Start IP
This address is the beginning of the range from which the DHCP Server starts
issuing IP addresses. You need to ensure the 624 Management IP address and
any statically-defined addresses are not within the DHCP start and end address
ranges. The default Start IP address is 192.168.1.100.
End IP This is the end of the DHCP Server IP address range. The default End IP is
192.168.1.200.
Lease Time
The Lease Time is the amount of time a LAN PC will hold the IP address. The
IP Address will automatically renew after this time has elapsed. If the LAN PC
does not renew the address after the lease period the lease information will be
removed from the DHCP database. This database can be viewed under
Tools> DHCP Clients. The lease time is in units of seconds; the default
value is 604800 seconds (7 days).
Relay On Highlighting the Relay On radio button configures the 624 to forward the DHCP
request to a remote DHCP server. Enter the remote DHCP server address in
the Relay IP field.

uniquely. To access the 624’s web pages you can type the IP 192.168.1.254 or
mygateway.ar7 in the web browser. Using the Hostname in the browser
requires the workstation to have its DNS server set to the 624.
step 8 Click Apply to save the changes temporarily.
step 9 Click Save Settings from the menu list to make the change permanent.
19

The following table lists the Management IP screen fields and their definitions:
Field Description
IP Address
The Default IP Address for the 624 is 192.168.1.254. Its Subnet Mask
is 255.255.255.0, and this allows you to support 254 users. If you wish to
support a larger number of users, you can alter the Subnet Mask. However, if
you do, remember the DHCP Server is defaulted to give out 101 IP Addresses.
Netmask A mask used to determine the subnet to which an IP address belongs. This is
the Subnet Mask that will be assigned to the Management interface of the 624.
Default Gateway The default gateway is a host to which local computers send data that is
destined for a non-local machine. On the 624, configure the default gateway
address here to reach all computers that are not on the same local IP subnet.
Hostname This is the assigned hostname for the 624. The Hostname can be any
alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.
Domain Name
The Domain Name is used in conjunction with the Hostname to uniquely identify
the 624. Domain Names always have 2 or more parts, separated by dots. The
part on the left is the most specific, and the part on the right is the most general.
Usually, all of the hosts on a given Network will have the same part as the right-
hand portion of their Domain Names.
