SIP User's Manual 2. Configuration Concepts
2.2.1.2 Configuring Device's DHCP Server
The device's embedded DHCP server for the LAN is enabled, and with default IP pool
addresses relating to the default subnet LAN. After reconfiguring the LAN IP addresses,
the IP pool addresses should be changed accordingly. You can either disable the DHCP
server or modify the IP address pool. The device (acting as a DHCP server), uses this
setting to allocate IP addresses to all the computers connected to its LAN interface.
¾ To configure DHCP on the device:
1. Access the 'DHCP Server' page (Configuration tab > Data menu > Data Services >
DHCP Server).
2. Click the Edit
button corresponding to the LAN Switch VLAN 1 connection.
3. From the 'IP Address Distribution' drop-down list, select "DHCP Server".
4. Define the IP address pool.

5. Click OK.
6. If required, refresh the address by disconnecting the cable and then reconnecting it
again, or by performing the following in Windows’ command line interface:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
2.2.1.3 Assigning a WAN IP Address
Once you have configured the device's LAN interfaces, you can then define the device's
WAN interface (for connecting to the Internet). The WAN interface connection can be
Ethernet, T1 WAN, or SHDSL. This section describes how to configure the Ethernet WAN
interface manually.
Note: Before you configure the WAN interface connection, ensure that you have all
the required information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
