5.3.5 DHCP server
The DHCP server is used exclusively for assigning IP addresses and other parameters to SIP terminals with the specified MAC address in NetStar.
The menu consists of two basic sections. Look left for a field to set the ranges of subnet IP addresses to be assigned and right for more parameter settings for the selected subnet.
Subnet
The context menu provides the following options:
- Add new subnet – display a dialogue to define the required subnet parameters, see below.
- Change range – edit the existing subnet range. It has the same function as a double click on the selected subnet.
- Delete subnet – delete the selected subnet from configuration.

You can specify the following in this dialogue:
- IP address range
- Subnet mask
- Default gateway
- Preferred DNS server
- Backup DNS server
The first obligatory step is to enter the range of IP addresses. The remaining parameters need not be filled in immediately if you unselect them. You can edit the parameters later in the Subnet properties subsection.
Subnet Options
The context menu provides the following options:
- Add subnet mask – the option is only active for subnets with no mask defined so far.
- Add default gateway – the option is only active for subnets with no default gateway defined so far.
- Add DNS server(s) – the option is only active for subnets with no DNS defined.
- Edit value – edit the existing values. It has the same function as a double click on the selected parameter.
- Remove option – remove a parameter from the selected subnet configuration.
