Field Description
Unmanaged Highlight this radio button if this interface does not require a
management IP address.
Obtain an IP address automatically Check this checkbox if the 624 is acting as a DHCP client. The 624 will
receive an IP Address from the specified DHCP server.
IP Address This field will be populated when the iConnectAccess624 receives an IP
Address from a DHCP Server.
Netmask This field will be populated when the iConnectAccess624 receives an IP
Address from a DHCP Server.
Use the following Static IP Address Highlight this radio button to use a static address for your router.
IP Address
The Default IP Address for the iConnectAccess624 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 iConnectAccess624.
Default Gateway
The default gateway is a host to which local computers send data that
is destined for a non-local machine. On the iConnectAccess624,
configure the default gateway address here to reach all computers that
are not on the same local IP subnet. This is usually delivered
automatically by the ISP.
Hostname This is the assigned hostname for the iConnectAccess624. The
Hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.
Domain
The Domain Name is used in conjunction with the Hostname to
uniquely identify the iConnectAccess624. 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.
Enable DHCP Server
Highlighting the Enable DHCP Server radio button turns on the DHCP
server. This will 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

iConnectAccess624
Technical Reference

Field Description
iConnectAccess624 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 computer will hold the IP
address. The IP Address will automatically renew after this time has
elapsed. If the LAN computer 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).
Enable DHCP Relay
Highlighting the Enable DHCP Relay radio button configures the
iConnectAccess624 to forward the DHCP request to a remote DHCP
server. Enter the remote DHCP server address in the Relay IP field.
Server and Relay Off This will disable the iConnectAccess624’s DHCP server and relay
functionality.
Services Click the appropriate link to move quickly to the services you wish to
configure for the interface type.
Status The green radio buttons indicate the services which are running by
default for the interface you are configuring.
