4.5 DHCP Server

The settings of TCP/IP environment include Host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS configurations. It is not a simple task to correctly configure all the computers in your LAN environment. Fortunately, DHCP provides a rather simple approach to handle all these settings. The DI-704 supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable the DI-704’s DHCP server and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from the DI-704. The settings of DHCP server include the following items:

1.DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”

2.Range of IP Address Pool: Whenever there is a request, 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.

3.Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.
