The following table describes the labels in this menu.

This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this 
chapter.

The actual physical connection determines whether the Device ports are LAN or WAN ports. There 
are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network 
as shown next.

LAN and WAN IP Addresses

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to 
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Device as a DHCP 
server or disable it. When configured as a server, the Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for 
the clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else 
the computer must be manually configured. 

The Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the 
product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to 
your LAN computers.
