3.3 LAN Setup

attached. Use LAN screen to set the IP address and subnet mask of the LAN interface on the
P-336M.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
3.4 DHCP Overview
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 P-336M
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-336M provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the DHCP client. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP
server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

IP Address Type the IP address of your P-336M in dotted decimal notation. 192.168.167.1 is
the factory default. Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste
the IP address.
Default Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your P-
336M automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you
assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed
by the P-336M.
