5. Size of Client IP Pool - Gives the size of the block of

addresses reserved for DHCP address assignment. The Prestige

itself uses the first address in the block, and the remaining

addresses in the pool are assigned to clients.

6. Primary DNS Server/Secondary DNS Server - These two

fields are used by DHCP clients (such as Windows 95 and

Windows NT systems) for Domain Name Servers. Usually your

Internet provider will provide one or more name service hosts.

7. IP Address - Enter the IP address of the Prestige in dotted

decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255,

separated by periods), e.g., 192.68.135.5. Please note that

every machine on the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP

address.

8. IP Subnet Mask - An IP address consists of two parts, the

network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to

specify the network ID portion of the address, expressed in

dotted decimal notation. The Prestige will automatically

calculate this mask based on the IP address that you assign.

Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default

subnet mask calculated by the Prestige.

9. RIP Direction - This parameter determines how the Prestige

handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol). If set to ‘Both’

(default), the Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the

LAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by other routers into its

routing table. If set to ‘In Only’, the Prestige will not broadcast

its routing table on the LAN, if set to ‘Out Only’, the Prestige

will broadcast its routing table but ignores any RIP broadcast

packets that it receives. If set to ‘None’, the Prestige will not

participate in any RIP exchange with other routers.

Usually, you should leave this parameter at its default of ‘Both’

and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
