Default Gateway
If you want to use the modem in a more advanced local network, you can supply the IP address of your local default gateway. For standard applications with the modem connected to multiple PCs or workstations through a multiport hub, leave this field empty.
BOOTP/DHCP Configuration Table
The BOOTP configuration is enabled by default. If your network has an active BOOTP/DHCP server, the modem obtains its IP parameters automatically during the first 120 seconds after being switched on.
An example of the BOOTP/DHCP Configuration table is shown in figure 36.
