Use the BT Business Hub's DHCP service
The BT Business Hub has a built-in DHCP server that provides
IP addresses to any device on the local network. By default, the
BT Business Hub provides the following range of IP addresses:
192.168.x.x IP Range
• IP Range 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.253
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway 192.168.1.254
• DNS 192.168.1.254
If the default IP range is not suitable for your environment,
the BT Business Hub can also be set to provide the following
pre-configured IP address ranges:
172.16.x.x IP Range
• IP Range 172.16.1.33 to 172.16.1.250
• Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
• Gateway 172.16.0.1
• DNS 172.16.0.1
10.x.x.x IP Range
• IP Range 10.0.1.33 to 10.0.1.250
• Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
• Gateway 10.0.0.1
• DNS 10.0.0.1
For each IP range, the first 32 IP addresses are available for
devices that require Static IP assignment.
You can also configure a custom range of IP addresses.
You must select the ‘ENABLE DHCP’ checkbox and click
the ‘SAVE’ button to submit your changes.
1. Set up and configure the BT Business Hub using
a network computer. Follow the instructions in
the Quick Start Guide, and ensure that broadband
connectivity has been established through
this computer
2. Make sure that the existing network DHCP server has
been disabled
3. Connect the remaining computers to the BT Business
Hub, and release and renew the IP address to request
a new IP address from the BT Business Hub
4. If any computers require Static IP, manually
change the computer's TCP/IP settings to one
of the 1 to 32 IP addresses
5. Test connectivity to the Internet
