DHCP Server

The DI-704P includes a DHCP Server. If you select “Enable” the DHCP Server, and you configure the computers on your network to “Obtain an IP Address automatically,” then when you turn your computer “ON,” it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from the DI-704P. You will not have to configure all the TCP/IP settings for your network manually.

The settings for the DHCP server are as follows:

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

2.The range of the 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. To View the DHCP clients, you can click the Clients List button.
