and regulates the data traffic in the wireless network. The access point also serves as an
interface to other networks, e.g. an existing

very complex as participants frequently move, drop out or new ones join. A DHCP server

addition, the address blocks can be used more effectively: since not all participants are
on the network at the same time, the same IP address can be assigned to different net-
work components in succession as and when required.
The Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 includes a DHCP Server and so it can automatically
assign IP addresses for the PCs on its local network. You can specify that the IP addresses
for certain PCs are never changed.
