DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 213
1 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Device as a DHCP server
or disable it. When configured as a server, the Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the
clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computer must be manually configured.
