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.
