DHCP Server
Configuration
IP address for the XC-DPG Twin WAN Router, as seen from the local LAN.
Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is
using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP
Address from within the range used by your LAN.
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks.
For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the
XC-DPG Twin WAN Router is attached (the same value as the PCs on that
LAN segment).
• DHCP Server Setup - If Enabled, the XC-DPG Twin WAN Router will
allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they
start up. The default and recommended value is "Enable". (Windows
systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called Obtain an
IP address automatically.)
Page 12
• DHCP Server Setup - If you are already using a DHCP Server, the
DHCP Server setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server
must be set to provide the IP address of the XC-DPG Twin WAN Router
as the Default Gateway. See Chapter 5: Advanced LAN Setup for

and renewed again after.
• Client Default DNS – The default DNS which are used by clients, but
they can be changed.
DHCP IP Address
Range
ARP Proxy
DHCP Client List
• Offered Range fields set the values used by the DHCP server when
allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the
number of DHCP clients supported.
• Free Entries indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently
allocated, and still available.
Enable this ONLY if the LAN port has an IP address in the same address
range as the WAN port(s). This means that all PCs using this Gateway must
have valid fixed external (Internet) IP addresses.
If enabled, enter the IP address range used on your LAN.
This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP
Server function. For each address which has been allocated, the following
information is shown.
• Name – The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be
known.
• MAC Address – The physical address (network adapter address) of the
PC.
• IP Address – The IP address allocated to this PC.
• Type – Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static.
• Status – If Dynamic, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP Server.
If sniffed, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN, rather than
allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the Name is usually not
known.
• Time Left – The time expired since which IP address is leased.
