10/100 DHCP Menu

Press the  buttons until the Port 10/100 DHCP menu appears. The front panel screen displays the DHCP and Unit Name fields. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the Satel- lite Multiplex Decrypter to obtain a set of IP parameters from a DHCP server. The DHCP server ensures that all these IP addresses are unique. This automates and facilitates the unit's access to the network. The management of the IP address pool, in this case, is handled by the server, and not by a human administrator.

The Unit Name is fully editable. It is placed into the outgoing DHCP request and is used for registra- tion. The Unit Name, in most cases, is only a suggestion to the DHCP server and may be updated with a different name upon receiving the DHCP registration reply. If an updated name is received from a DHCP server, the Unit Name will be adjusted to show this change and will replace the user-entered name. The default name is DSR640X-XXXXX. The XXXXX is the unit’s unique five-digit address.
