Obtaining a Dynamic IP Address for the PC
When DHCP is enabled, the modem can provide an IP address dynamically to devices on the
LAN. If you enabled DHCP when you set up the modem in
“Using the RS-232 management
Port for Set Up” on page 24 , ensure that the TCP/IP configuration for your PC and other devices
on the LAN is set to automatically obtain the IP address from the modem.
See the example below for setting up the PC to obtain an address when using Microsoft
Windows

operating system user documentation.

Configuration tab (or highlight TCP/IP then click Properties ).
