DHCP Server

Select Enable to activate DHCP for LAN.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual 
clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a server. Enable the 
DHCP server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Select Disable to stop the 
EMG6765-Q10A acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the EMG6765-
Q10A provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and 
you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually 
configured. When set as a server, fill in the following four fields.

IP Pool Starting Address This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool for LAN.

Pool Size

This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool for LAN.

Lease Time

This field specifies how long an individual client can use an IP address before it has to 
request a new one.
