DHCP stands for
Dynamic Host
Control Protocol. The
DI-784 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 DI-784. 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.
