Using DHCP to Get an IP Source Address

The DHCP feature lets you use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol to automatically get an IP source address for your Network Assistant.

To activate DHCP, press (IP Config) from the Central Setup screen; then select DCHP. When you press (Get Address), the Network Assistant requests to lease an IP address from a DHCP server (Figure 2-18). The DHCP address request also occurs automatically if DHCP is already selected when the Network Assistant detects a link pulse.

If a DHCP server is found, the display shows the accepted source IP address, DHCP server information,

and lease time. Pressing (Get DHCP Address) again restarts the DHCP process.
