The DHCP SET-UP MENU contains options used to dynamically configure and maintain the DHCP parameters for
remote devices on a network via a central DHCP server. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows
configuration of devices (DHCP clients) to be handled from a central DHCP server. This allows devices to be added and
removed from a network with all of the network information (i.e. IP address, DNS, subnet mask, etc.) being configured
automatically. It is designed to allocate network addresses to a number of hosts on the P1700's LAN and supply minimal
configuration needed to allow hosts to operate in an IP network.
Note: DHCP is not available for addresses on secondary IP networks or subnetworks (local routing).
1 - Server IP Address Pool
The Server IP address pool option directs you to the Server IP address pool Menu, where the range of allowable
IP addresses may be set.
2 - DNS Set-Up
The DNS Set-up option directs you to the DNS Set-Up Menu, where the Primary and Secondary DNS (Domain Name
Server) addresses may be set.
3 - NetBIOS Set-Up
The NetBIOS set-up option directs you to the NetBIOS set-up Menu, where the NetBIOS parameters may be set.
4 - DHCP Services
The DHCP services option sets the DHCP operational mode as none, server or relay. Selecting "none" disables the
option. Selecting "server" enables this P1700 to act as a simple DHCP server for its LAN. Selecting "relay" enables the
P1700 to relay DHCP service data to a remote DHCP server.
