2.7 DHCP Support (NT 4.0 server)

FastPort operates as a client with a DHCP server. Setup is not necessary. After POST (power on self-test), it sends out DHCP packages. The server scrolls through a list of addresses allocated for clients and then assigns the first available number. The IP address stays until power-off or its lease expires. The DHCP server must be on the same subnet as the client. If not on the same subnet, a helper is needed on the router.
