Turn on DHCP server: This checkbox turns the DHCP Server feature on or off. This should be left
checked. The DHCP server allocates an IP address to each connected device. NOTE: If the DHCP Server
is turned off, each connected device must be assigned a fixed IP address.
DHCP lease time: The number of minutes in which connected devices must renew the IP address
assigned to them by the DHCP server. Normally, this can be left at the default value, but if you have
special requirements, you can change this value.
Start DHCP address range at: The start of the IP address range used by the DHCP server. If the IP is
set on the client device, use an IP address outside of this DHCP range; if the IP address is set using an IP
reservation, it will usually be inside this range. NOTE: Only expert users should change this setting.
End DHCP address range at: The end of the IP address range used by the DHCP server. If the IP is set
on the client device, use an IP address outside of this DHCP range; if the IP address is set using an IP
reservation, it will usually be inside this range. NOTE: Only expert users should change this setting.
