5. Advanced Operations
5.1. ADSL Mode
When selecting ADSL Mode from the Advanced menu, this dialog box appears.
Currently only G.DMT is supported.
5.2. DHCP
The DHCP protocol enables dynamic allocation of IP addresses for efficient use of
the address reservoir. The router can operate in two modes:
• As a server (allocating addresses to computers in the LAN).
• As a relay (relaying the request from the LAN to a specific DHCP server at the
WAN).
When one mode of operation is selected, the second mode becomes inactive.
Note: When there is a DHCP in the LAN, port eth0 can be defined as a client and receive
an IP address from it. This mode can be configured using the Configure option in the
Advanced menu. See Configure.
5.2.1. The Router as a DHCP Server
The DHCP tab enables defining parameters when the router is configured as a DHCP
server. Each line can be used to define a range of IP addresses to be allocated to each
sub-network. Initially, each new line is in Stop mode. To activate it, select it and click
the Start button (it immediately toggles itself to Stop). The router will implement the
new definitions only after Save and Reboot are applied.
 To add a new line:
1. Click Add. The DHCP Server Configuration dialog box appears.
