DHCP stands for Dynamic Host
Control Protocol.
The DWL-G730AP has a built-in
DHCP server. The DHCP Server will
automatically assign an IP address
to the computers on the LAN/
private network. Be sure to set
your computers to be DHCP
clients by setting their TCP/IP
settings to “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.” When you turn
your computers on, they will
automatically load the proper TCP/
IP settings provided by the
DWL-G730AP. The DHCP server
will automatically allocate an
unused IP address from the IP
address pool to the requesting
computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address
pool.
